Public bug reported:
`gnome-language-selector` ("Language Support" application) crashes every
time in stonking. Works OK in resolute.
This is happening due to changes/refactoring done to `im-config` between
v0.62 (resolute) and v1.1 (stonking). Many options have either been
renamed (re-lettered?) or dropped.
From my understanding,
-a -> -p
-l (unless -a used) -> -i
-m -> -d or -r (?!)
-n -> -w
-x seems to have been dropped.
Following is the traceback message:
```
