Hmm.. Previously that value was controlled dynamically. It defaulted to "gtk-im-context-simple", but as soon as some ibus IM was present in the list of input sources (or the OSK was enabled) the value switched automatically to "ibus".

That's why it worked fine without setting GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus explicitly, and we could prevent im-config from doing anything in case of a GNOME desktop.

Do you understand what their intention actually is?

Is GTK_IM_MODULE unset there? I have noticed that the upstream ibus maintainer (who is a Fedora guy) frequently advises users to set GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus. He seems to consider that to be a normal measure on x11 and not a workaround.
