Package: im-config
Version: 0.22-3
Severity: wishlist
This is not really about im-config itself but about life after im-config.
im-config (or its previous life as im-switch included) needs to be
activated by the starting of the X via Xsession. This interface is used
by by im-config (or im-switch). Another way to start IM is from XDG
autostart (/etc/xdg/autostart/) instead of Xsession. So extending
im-config (or im-switch) to use this can be done by this route for
GNOME3 Dynamically resetting environment variable is not a part of
design for im-config. These are basic design issues. Switching
different IM tools requires to restart X session even with this XDG
autostart extension.
Tago-san's im-chooser can dynamically update IM without restarting X
so it looks better.

Supported Toolkits
* GTK+
* LXDE
* MATE
* Qt
* XFCE
* X (with IMSettings XIM server; require libgxim)
I do not know how im-chooser workis with GNOME3.
As for GNOME3 gnome-shell related GUI configuration, I found a post for
similar issues on Ubuntu bug list for im-switch by Ma:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/875435
A better approach of supporting IBus and other IM framework is using a
separate UI. The UI can be very native to DE concerned and it
communicates with the IM framework concerned through DBus.
I've found four existing examples:
https://github.com/tualatrix/fcitx-gimpanel (DE: Unity, IMF: Fcitx)
https://github.com/fujiwarat/ibus-gjs (DE: GNOME, IMF: IBus)
http://userbase.kde.org/Tutorials/Kimpanel (DE: KDE, IMF: Multiple)
https://github.com/csslayer/kimpanel-for-gnome-shell (DE: GNOME, IMF: Multiple)
(The original bug for im-switch discussed in the bug report is not fixed
in Debian but the effectively same fix is done.)
At any rate, this is something to think about.
