Dear Maintainer,

On the GNOME desktop, manual set-up in GNOME Settings is required
in order to make ibus-anthy to work.

I have prepared an XDG Autostart .desktop file which should be installed to
/etc/xdg/autostart/ibus-anthy-gnome-initial-setup.desktop
and its corresponding script to be installed to
/usr/share/ibus-anthy/ibus-anthy-gnome-initial-setup.sh
to automatically set-up ibus-anthy immediately after each user's next login.

Sorry for the tight schedule, but hopefully this should be included in
the bullseye release
(See also Bug#983653.)

Thanks in advance,

Back to this issue only(ibus doesn't have a working default). I find
task-korean-gnome-desktop Recommends gnome-initial-setup,
And above the Recommends, it has a comment that says:

GNOME doesn't set the working Korean IM by default

https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/tasksel/-/blob/002c2a97/debian/control#L1547

So I think this is the workaround by Korean users. Which now GNOME
defaults ibus, and ibus doesn't pick up the right defaults for all.
Maybe we should find a universal solution?

To me that sounds as a good idea, especially given how late we are in the cycle. I just run gnome-initial-setup, and even if it starts with a redundant question (about locale), the second question is about typing.

So provided that the release-team approves the creation of a bunch of new task-*-gnome-desktop packages, I suppose that adding gnome-initial-setup as a dependency in those would be easier than adding the proposed auto setup script to several ibus-* packages.
