Dear maintainer,
I'm totally mistaken.(sorry!)
This patch isn't needed anymore.And also, this bug report I sent is
totaly wrong caused by my lack of knowledge about recent GNOME desktop.
After my trial and error, I found a correct setting of gnome-control-
center, I became able to input Japanese without this patch. And also,
I found that in recent GNOME desktop, gtk applications can communicate
to ibus without X_MODIFIERS/GTK_IM_MODULE env valiable anymore.
Correct setting and how to input Japanese using ibus:
In gnome-control-center -> Region & Language ->
1st prior: Japanese (if you use Japanese layout keyboard)
2nd prior: Japanese (Mozc)
in Input Source form.
After restarting gdm3 and doing login, press + to switch input source to japanese mozc and press
"Hankaku/Zenkaku" key, user can input Japanese
using mozc-jp engine via ibus.
I did set "Region & Language" to "Japanese" (notice: "Mozc" isn't
specified), and I found this setting means simply using Japanese layout
keyboard without using ibus.
Then, I mark this bug as done.

No.
I'm saying With current GNOME Desktop, wayland(currently default in
Debian sid) and current and older gnome-session-bin , it doesn't work.
After checking source code of gnome-session-bin, I found it set
QT_IM_MODULE and XMODIFIERS env variable correctly , but it doesn't set
GTK_IM_MODULE (I don't know why). So I supporsed that patch.
Recently GNOME Desktop, wayland in debian sid doesn't seems to execute
any scripts under /etc/Xsession.d/. Then, there isn't any chance to set
GTK_IM_MODULE env variable when gnome-shell is invoked. This cause
gnome-shell menu invokes gtk applications without GTK_IM_MODULE env
variable, they won't communicate to ibus.
(This cause "I can not type Japanese language anymore")
I guess , refer to main.c of gnome-session-bin, the best place of
setting GTK_IM_MODULE env variable is in gnome-session-bin.
Would you accept that patch as a temporary resolution?

I don't think gnome-session ever set the GTK_IM_MODULE env variable.
It's unclear from your bug report whether this was working before for
you ("I can not anymore Japanes language anymore").
Are you saying that with older gnome-session-bin versions it worked?

Bug#878411: gnome-session-bin doesn't set environmental variable of GTK_IM_MODULE
Package: gnome-session-bin
Version: 3.26.1-1
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
I updated gnome desktop from debian sid. However, I found I can not
type Japanese language anymore.
I finally found gnome-session-bin correctly set an envirionmental
variable of QT_IM_MODULE, but it doesn't set GTK_IM_MODULE , and this
cause gtk can't talk to ibus.
So I worte a patch for temporary fix this problem, and attach the
patch. It works fine in my debian box.
How about this patch?
Thank you in advance,
