In order to put this mystery of the "missing directory /usr/share/im- config/data" to complete rest I would like to say that the reason for it turned out to be my error. Normally I clone a system by "rsync --delete -ahvHAX", followed by grub-install with appropriate arguments. But this time I added "--exclude=data/" to rsync options, because I wanted to exclude a huge directory "/data" containing terabytes of books and music, not realising that this would also exclude a few dozens of other directories, namely all those containing "/data/" as part of their full pathname, including the one containing im-config data.
Needless to say, I have wiped out this system and did a fresh install of Ubuntu 22.04 and am very happy with it. After a few optimisations, removing some stuff, disabling Wayland and making a few other minor adjustments, the system is rock stable and almost as fast as Ubuntu 18 (which used to boot in just over one second even on this old slow hardware). So, thank you, Gunnar, and thanks to all Ubuntu developers for patiently bearing with all my comments :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to im-config in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1720250 Title: im-config configuration ignored with gdm3 Status in gdm3 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in im-config package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: After having logged in via gdm3, the IM related environment variables are always set like this: $ env | grep -E '_IM|XMOD' QT_IM_MODULE=ibus XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus Changing ~/.xinputrc to e.g. xim makes no difference, so gdm3 prevents all other IM frameworks but IBus from working.
