Thank you so much for the tips! I've finally gotten ibus-anthy working
(partially)! However, I've encountered some additional
problems/questions, and I hope you can provide some advice:
* When I set up GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE like you've suggested, it works only
for GTK3 applications. Applications using GTK2 crash due to some kind
of a version incompatibility problem [1]. However, if I generate the
immodules cache file with "gtk-query-immodules-2.0", then the same
thing happens in reverse: GTK2 applications work with Japanese input,
but GTK3 applications crash. Do you know of a way we can get it
working for both GTK2 and GTK3 applications simultaneously?
* When I install ibus, I notice that the next time I log in, the
following environment variables are set even though they were not set
before, and even though I did not add them to my $HOME/.bashrc or
$HOME/.bash_profile:
QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
address@hidden
IBUS_COMPONENT_PATH=/home/testuser/.guix-profile/share/ibus/component
Do you know where those environment variables are coming from? Why
isn't GTK_IM_MODULE set, also? (It seems that setting GTK_IM_MODULE
is not necessary if GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE is set, but I do not currently
understand the relationship between those two environment variables.)
* If the ibus cache in $HOME/.cache/ibus exists, then installing
ibus-anthy will APPEAR to have no effect. The only way I was able to
get GNOME's control panel ("All Settings" > "Region & Language" >
"Input Sources") or ibus-setup to recognize the "Japanese (Anthy)"
input method after installing ibus-anthy was to invoke "rm -rf" on the
$HOME/.cache/ibus directory and then restart ibus-daemon (e.g., by
restarting the xorg-server service). To make it easier to install and
use ibus-anthy, there a way we can ensure that the ibus cache is
refreshed when the user installs ibus-anthy?
Thank you,
