Martin,
It struck me that the fix of this bug probably makes bug #1501832 resurrect. Comments?

Second thoughts: I no longer think it will be a problem, but I sent a message to the bug reporter and asked him to test.

I also don't think it will be a problem because selecting fcitx will do "the right thing". This fix is to ensure a no action configuration doesn't default to xim.

Hi, this patch indeed caused bug #1501832 to resurrect.
Test case:
Boot with ubuntu-
Select "Greek" in syslinux.
Select the live session.
Open mate-terminal.
Press Alt+Shift to switch to the Greek keyboard layout.
Type ; and then type a.
This is supposed to show ά.
Instead, it shows ´α.

Since both gnome-flashback and MATE have the same issue,
while Unity doesn't have it,
I think MATE should match gnome-flashback in both language-selector and /etc/default/
Btw, when I experience this issue, `ps aux` shows [fcitx] <defunct>.

There is an issue with the Ubuntu MATE live session, but I don't think the fix of this bug is the primary cause. I could see the issue when running a live Swedish session, i.e. the dead keys were broken.

Right. The fcitx-bin package is present in the live session, and it looks like im-config tries to start fcitx but fails. The IM configuration is inconsistent:
ubuntu-
CLUTTER_
QT_IM_MODULE=xim
XMODIFIERS=
QT4_IM_MODULE=xim
GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
Btw, the issue was present also when I tried a live Chinese session.
I would suggest that a separate bug is submitted about IM configuration in Ubuntu MATE live session.
With that said, I have filed <https:/

Reverting the fix of this current bug report solves the regression, but OK, I've filed LP bug 1605571 as you requested.
I found out that this happens when fcitx-bin is installed with --no-install-
Let's continue there. Thanks! :)
The attached debdiff adds MATE support to language-selector.
