That works locally under EXWM, but have been unable to get ibus working
under GNOME.  Would someone please post a complete recipe, including
what to install in which profile, and whether to start GNOME in X or
Wayland?

I use GNOME in X. In my system configuration I have this package:

  #| NOTE: I'd like to have ibus available to all users by default,

  but last time I checked, this didn't work as expected and I still
  had to install it in user profiles. |#
  (specification->package "ibus")

In the manifest for my user profile I have these packages:

  "ibus"
  "ibus-anthy"
  "ibus-libhangul"
  "ibus-libpinyin"
  "ibus-speech-to-text"

In my ~/.profile file I export these variables:

  # GUIX RELATED VARIABLES TO WORK AROUND BUG #35610
  # https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/35610
  # export GUIX_GTK2_IM_MODULE_FILE="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules-gtk2.cache"   export GUIX_GTK3_IM_MODULE_FILE="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules-gtk3.cache"
  # These are needed only to work on Qt apps like TeXmacs.
  export XMODIFIERS="@im=ibus"  # Set X input method server (xim) to ibus.
  export QT_IM_MODULE="ibus"    # Set Qt input method module to ibus.

Finally, every time I start a GNOME desktop session, I have to run the following:

  ibus-daemon -drx

I input Japanese reliably using this. I don't use the other input methods often, but they work, as far as I can see.

Hope that helps,

Just to add that I upgraded my system to guix e2ba933 today, started the new GNOME 44.10 (Wayland) and I still can use ibus input methods normally with those same settings.
