--- Begin Message ---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?

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 <Super(nomally as windows key)>+<SPC> 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.
