Dear maintainer,
I'm totally mistaken.(sorry!)
This patch isn't needed anymore.And also, this bug report I sent is
totaly wrong caused by my lack of knowledge about recent GNOME desktop.
After my trial and error, I found a correct setting of gnome-control-
center, I became able to input Japanese without this patch. And also,
I found that in recent GNOME desktop, gtk applications can communicate
to ibus without X_MODIFIERS/GTK_IM_MODULE env valiable anymore.
Correct setting and how to input Japanese using ibus:
In gnome-control-center -> Region & Language ->
1st prior: Japanese (if you use Japanese layout keyboard)
2nd prior: Japanese (Mozc)
in Input Source form.
After restarting gdm3 and doing login, press <Super(nomally as
windows key)>+<SPC> to switch input source to japanese mozc and press
"Hankaku/Zenkaku" key, user can input Japanese
using mozc-jp engine via ibus.
I did set "Region & Language" to "Japanese" (notice: "Mozc" isn't
specified), and I found this setting means simply using Japanese layout
keyboard without using ibus.
Then, I mark this bug as done.
