[bug#44354] [PATCH] gnu: gnome-deskop-service-type: Set GUIX_GTK*_IM_MODULE_FILE.

[Ricardo Wurmus]

Hi Leo,

I haven’t been able to get ibus-libpinyin to work even when these 
variables are set.  I know that these variables used to work once.

I don’t know if setting them is the correct thing to do for Gnome. 
This patch would also only work for system-wide installations of 
input methods.  Input methods that have been installed in a user 
profile would not be part of the cache files.

Can we take a step back and come to an understanding of how ibus 
in Gnome is supposed to work?  Ibus in Gnome is (supposed to be) 
more “integrated” than in other environments, which means that we 
should first aim to understand what Gnome attempts to do with 
ibus.

We should also take into account dconf keys, such as these:

/desktop/ibus/
/org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/mru-sources
/org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/sources
/org/gnome/desktop/interface/gtk-im-module

What do you think?
