Hi, All:

The system is guixSD 0.14 with standard desktop for xfce and GNOME.

Chinese font is installed.
fcitx is installed and setup for same user.

When logged in under xfce: fcitx Chinese input works.
When logged in under GNOME: fcitx Chinese input does not work.

Does anybody have the same issue?

best regards,
wxie

Hi,

did you install fcitx:gtk3 ?

What does fcitx-diagnose say?

Hi, Danny:

Please refer to the output of fcitx-diagnose for both xfce and gnome. There
is not much difference.
You can see that gtk3 is installed.

Let me know if you need further information.

I’m using ibus with ibus-libpinyin only, so I haven’t experienced this
problem myself.

It may be good to know, though, that GNOME plans to only use ibus as its
one input method engine, so I don’t know if a fix here will survive for
a long time.

Hi, Ricardo:

Thanks for the information.
I used ibus pinyin with Emacs, but there is some problem: sometimes the
cursor position is not correct, and this slows down input speed.

Do you have this problem?
