I tried the above, but it didn't work for me. The only thing which works
reliably is (which is in my ~/.bash_profile):
# ibus
# source: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IBus
export
IBUS_COMPONENT_PATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/share/ibus/component${IBUS_COMPONENT_PATH:+:}$IBUS_COMPONENT_PATH"
export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
export address@hidden
export QT_IM_MODULE=xim
Note that this configuration is deemed wrong by ibus' maintainer:
https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2020
My daemon is started in my ~/.ratpoisonrc file like this:
exec ibus-daemon --xim
I've used ibus-setup to configure my input method to Anthy and US -
dvorak for now, and I've configured the shortcut to switch between those
to be Super + Space.
