Hi!
After installing packages ibus and ibus-anthy , I thought I would be
able to type Japanese - but I had to follow the tip below and manually
add these variables to make it work.Would this be considered a bug?
https://www.mail-archive.com/help-guix@gnu.org/msg08282.html
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"
Cheers,Yasu

Yes, guix lack supports for input methods.

For these kind of environment variables, we usually set them in
'.guix-profile/etc/profile' via 'native-search-paths' of a package.
But adding 'GUIX_GTK3_IM_MODULE_FILE' to the 'native-search-paths' of
'gtk+' is not good enough or won't solve this issue as we usually don't
install 'gtk+' into the profile. I'd like to find another way set them,
could be add some code to '(guix profiles)' with the 'gtk-im-modules'
profile hook. Need more thinking...
In the meantime, we have to set those environment variables manually..

I see..., thank you anyway!
I wonder if we can collect of this kind of usability tips in wiki-like
systems somewhere so we don't have to keep digging google for
information. 😃
I am very excited about Guix - I switched from Nix and I am not going
back!

Well, I don't know if a guix wiki existed, but we have Guix Cookbook:
<https://guix.gnu.org/cookbook/>, it's a info manual build from the guix
git repository, need to work on it more...

Hello, yasu
I recently submitted #44354, which would set GUIX_GTK*_IM_MODULE_FILE
from the system configuration. Once this patch is merged, you should
be able to add ibus and ibus-anthy to your operating-system packages
and have them picked up from there by gnome.
Note, that this patch would as it is currently likely only set
GUIX_GTK3_IM_MODULE_FILE, because the gnome package does not contain
anything linked against gtk+-2. If that is a concern, you can add an
application that does to it. Mine currently looks like this:
```
(package
(inherit gnome)
(propagated-inputs
`(,@(package-propagated-inputs gnome)
;; IBus
("ibus" ,ibus)
("ibus-anthy" ,ibus-anthy)
;; World
("dconf-editor" ,dconf-editor)
("evolution" ,evolution)
("evolution-data-server" ,evolution-data-server)
("gitg" ,gitg)
("gnome-tweaks" ,gnome-tweaks)
("polari" ,polari)
("seahorse" ,seahorse))))
```
[As you can see, just ibus and a few more Gnome packages, but none
using Gtk+ 2.]
Best regards,
Leo
