Public bug reported:
Test case: remove everything related to fcitx.
Then run: apt install --no-install-recommends fcitx-bin
Then login with some locale that uses dead keys, for example the Greek locale.
Then type e.g. ";"+"a". It's supposed to show "ά", but instead it shows "´α".
At that point, fcitx isn't running, yet `im-config -a` reports that it's the
selected input method.
$ env | egrep '_IM|XMOD'
CLUTTER_IM_MODULE=xim
QT_IM_MODULE=xim
XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx
QT4_IM_MODULE=xim
GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
If fcitx-bin is installed along with all its recommended dependencies, then
fcitx is running normally and the issue described above doesn't occur anymore.
At that point, the environment variables are:
$ env | egrep '_IM|XMOD'
CLUTTER_IM_MODULE=xim
QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx
QT4_IM_MODULE=fcitx
GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
At present I've only tested with the MATE desktop environment.
It also happens with the MATE live CD, as fcitx-bin is indeed preinstalled
there without its recommended dependencies.
