[Bug 1928360] Re: Switch to Fcitx 5 for Chinese

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

@Seth: I suppose that the DENIED file I attached in comment #7 does not
help much.

Fcitx 5 is a separate process, i.e. /usr/bin/fcitx5 as opposed to
/usr/bin/fcitx. When in Chromium it behaves as if fcitx5 does not exist,
even if the process runs and I can use fcitx5 in other applications. I
can't even switch to a fcitx5 input method engine when in Chromium, let
alone use such an input engine for typing. Maybe that explains why
nothing fcitx5 related is reflected as DENIED lines.

I'm thinking that maybe there is a need to create the fcitx5 and
fcitx5-strict abstractions using the already existing fcitx and fcitx-
strict abstractions as models.

Bug description:
  In Debian 11 Fcitx 5 will be the default IM framework for Chinese on
  non-GNOME desktops. I can think it's time to make the equivalent
  changes in Ubuntu 21.10 as well.

  I'd appreciate input on the topic from the Ubuntu Kylin team as well
  as other Chinese speaking users.
