[Bug 1551283] Re: "Region & Language" settings should allow you to set keyboard input method system

Possibly. gnome-language-selector (the language-selector-gnome package)
includes that UI for controlling the im-config behavior.

If I understand it correctly, Ubuntu GNOME does not ship any of these
packages by default:

- language-selector-gnome
- language-selector-common
- im-config

Is that correct?

But if a user installs language-selector-gnome, as Nikita did, all those
three packages get installed, and thus im-config may affect the input
method configuration. Also, if you use gnome-language-selector to
install Japanese (or any other CJKV language), fcitx gets installed as
well.

And yes, in this situation im-config defaults to "none" (which is
actually xim...).

This makes me think of bug #1550325. Possibly we should make a similar
change to im-config (and language-selector-gnome), so they behave in the
same way in Ubuntu GNOME as they do in Unity and MATE.

Let me know.

Title:
  "Region & Language" settings should allow you to set keyboard input
  method system

Bug description:
  In the gnome-language-selector one is able to set the "Keyboard input
  method system". For instance on my system I can either set it to
  "none", "IBus", or "fcitx". However there is no such option in the
  gnome-control-center's Region & Language section, though I think that
  there should be.
