Bug#1009996: IBus broken on GNOME on x11
Hi,
Since no-no, I agree to go with what you proposed.
In order to avoid future confusion, can you add some of the key facts you stated.
> GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus was not needed at the time, but the mechanism which

Please add specific commit reference as a comment by explaining the above statement..

Let's add a comment to review situation by September/2022.

As I read the discussion, if this bug affects Debian/testing, and GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
solves major concern which may come with on-screen keyboard, that's OK.

I see. Let's add this stance as comment since this is a temporary work around.

I see.

As a code to fix issue, I agree with your merge request.
As for the issue tracking, I appreciate you add more context into comment.

I see.

You are talking about Ikuya's message, I think. I didn't have time to check it yet.
Anyway, please upload updated im-config including your logic in the proposed patch.
