Oops.  False alarm.  The Chinese input frame seems to be working OK in
190703 daily build.  👍  However, the first entry of the input method is
labeled as "汉语“ （Chinese）。  Either that should be changed to "英语”
（English），because it is indeed an English keyboard.  Or assign
ibus-libpinyin as the input method for "汉语" and remove the ibus-libpinyin
（"智能拼音"）entry.  The latter is, of course, preferred.  Please see attached
screenshot.

Anyway, huge improvement!
