im-config (0.29-1ubuntu16) yakkety; urgency=medium
* debian/user/im-config.service: Reverse the order of "initctl set-env" and
"dbus-update-activation-environment". $XMODIFIERS can contain an "=" (its
value
Just updated the description. The problem is now understood, and we
worked around the upstart bug in gnome-session and im-config.
** Description changed:
+ When "initctl set-env -g" is called, upstart calls D-Bus to also update
+ its activation environment (the environment that D-Bus activated
+
** Also affects: upstart (Ubuntu)

I think it's upstart being buggy when forwarding the initctl set-env -g
to the dbus activation environment
‣ Type=method_call Endian=l Flags=0 Version=1 Priority=0 Cookie=5665
Sender=:1.15 Destination=org.freedesktop.DBus Path=/org/freedesktop/DBus
Interface=org.freedesktop.DBus
The following is from
dbus-update-activation-environment --verbose --systemd $$v; \
systemctl --user show-environment | grep XMODIFIERS; \
initctl set-env -gr $$v=$$(eval "echo \\{v}") || true; \
systemctl --user show-environment | grep
Now I modified each iteration of the loop in im-config.service to show
the environment
Oct 04 10:21:20 yakkety-vm sh[1972]: + dbus-update-activation-environment
--verbose --systemd XMODIFIERS
Oct 04 10:21:20 yakkety-vm sh[1972]: dbus-update-activation-environment:
setting XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
>From ExecStart of im-config.service (modified slightly to eliminate
quoting issues)
Oct 04 10:09:43 yakkety-vm sh[1925]: + dbus-update-activation-environment
--verbose --systemd XMODIFIERS
Oct 04 10:09:43 yakkety-vm sh[1925]: dbus-update-activation-environment:
setting XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
and
I don't think it's a quoting issue (or issue with parsing the extra '=')
in d-u-a-e, as when I run this manually it works:
$ export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
$ dbus-update-activation-environment --verbose --systemd XMODIFIERS
dbus-update-activation-environment: setting XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
$ systemctl
