fcitx-autostart.deskop is unnecessary

[Ikuya Awashiro]

/etc/xdg/autostart/fcitx-autostart.desktop is unnecessary on Ubuntu/Debian. We have im-config.
It is very annoying when ibus and fcitx install at the same time.

Hi Aron, what do you think about it?

Thank you for your work. I'm going to wait on Aron to comment on whether we want that autostart or not. Since that's a file in /etc (conffile) if you stop installing it you need a maintscript script to clean it on upgrades

(unsubscribing sponsors, the diff needs to be fixed and it feels like something for Aron to review, no need to keep it in the sponsoring queue)

I prefer keeping it as fcitx will quit when it sees anything that's already taken XIM position (which should be already set by im-config), so I'm not sure what's the annoying issue?

[Ikuya Awashiro (ikuya-fruitsbasket)]

OK.
Two users use the same Ubuntu.
User A prefers IBus, and user B prefers Fcitx.
User A's environment runs Fcitx automatically after login.
User A should run gnome-session-properties and uncheck Fcitx.
It's so annoying.

[Aron Xu (happyaron)]

There's no need to uncheck Fcitx, if the user has set the default input method to ibus using im-config, ibus should be started before fcitx, so that the autostart will give up initializing fcitx. Am I correct?

[Ikuya Awashiro (ikuya-fruitsbasket)]

Yes, you are right at least on Trusty.
I am sorry for bothering you.
