Public bug reported:
[Impact]
In a Wayland session on Ubuntu 20.04 im-config does not work as
intended. To be able to use a non-IBus IM framework you basically need
to first uninstall ibus (or 'fake uninstall' by renaming /usr/bin/ibus-
daemon).
This was fixed in im-config 0.45-1, and the proposed upload includes a
patch with a cherry picked Debian commit.
[Test case]
* Install fcitx and fcitx-libpinyin
* Open Language Support and switch to fcitx
* Reboot and log in to a Wayland session
* Open the fcitx preferences and add fcitx-libpinyin
* Switch to fcitx-libpinyin and confirm that you can input
Chinese
[Regression risk]
A similar method for making im-config work with Wayland was used in
Ubuntu 17.10, which was shipped with Wayland as default. Since the
approach has already been used without reported issues, the regression
risk now should be low.
