Hi,

Thanks for pointing out package x11-tools! I knew SUSE has xim.d
mechanism for long, but didn't know how it was implemented. that
package answered all my questions.

Today I update systemd-inputmethod-generator, now it respects:

1. the "export  INPUT_METHOD=fcitx5" or "export
XMODIFIERS=\"@im=fcitx5\"" strings in .xim, .i18n, .profile and .login
2. the INPUT_METHOD variable in /etc/sysconfig/language
3. the smallest name in /etc/X11/xim.d/$LANG and /usr/etc/X11/xim.d/$LANG

I think it is now using the same mechanism to determine INPUT_METHOD
for systemd.
