Currently, the server will try to disable all input methods to try avoid problems by setting the following environment variables:

DISABLE_IMSETTINGS=true
GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
QT_IM_MODULE=xim
IMSETTINGS_MODULE=none
XMODIFIERS=""

But some users (see this ML discussion) may want to enable input methods without knowing about all those values.
For example for ibus:

GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
XMODIFIERS="@im=ibus"

We should provide a better way of enabling this.

We need to:

  • figure out what normally sets those values (a session script somewhere?)
  • does any of it need dbus or other dependencies?
  • does it interfere when running multiple sessions
  • what is the best config / command-line switch? (input-methods=[none|ibus|...)
