I'm trying to get exwm-xim work. I have done everything I needed to do,
including setting the environment variables and calling
(exwm-xim-enable). But it doesn't work. I suddenly noticed today that
all the GTK programs output something like the following:

    (dino:14531): Gtk-WARNING **: 02:52:19.528: No IM module matching GTK_IM_MODULE=xim found

How can I fix this? I'm on GNU Guix System, with the whole system
updated just 2 days ago.

I have used ibus with Emacs with this code. [1] Maybe have a look at
GUIX_GTK2_IM_MODULE_FILE ?

As a fellow EXWM user, I use Emacs's own input methods now, but haven't
tried to make them work outside Emacs.  I think that would likewise
involve exwm-xim. [2]

Did you follow the instructions here? [3]

Please feel free to post about your progress here.

Kind regards
Felix
