Bug#990316: Add GLFW_IM_MODULE=fcitx on ibus and fcitx5 to enable IME in kitty



Control: tag -1 patch

Thanks for your patch, Chen Shijie. As Osamu said, adding that variable would be trivial and without a risk to affect other applications.

Reading <https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/469> makes me still hesitate, though. If I understand it correctly, the principal kitty developer has intentionally not enabled IME input by default due to claimed efficiency issues and bugs.

im-config works the other way around. As soon as some input method framework such as IBus or fcitx5 is installed, im-config sets the related variables and launches the daemon. And it does so by default.

In the light of that, I'm wondering if letting im-config set GLFW_IM_MODULE is the right thing to do.
