app-i18n/imsettings

Homepage: https://tagoh.bitbucket.io/imsettings
Description: Delivery framework for general Input Method configuration

Beware: the mere fact of installing this package, even without using it, may silently break your input method installation. The user may not be aware that installing this package adds a script /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/90-xinput which runs every time a new X session is started, and which invalidates the user input method configuration.

Bug 650348 - app-i18n/imsettings-1.7.2 breaks app-i18n/ibus, app-i18n/fcitx, etc.

~/.config/fcitx/

~/.config/fcitx/log/ $ cat crash.log
fcitx: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)

In most cases, that is simply the result of the X server shutting down while applications where still drawing their windows. Everyone gets these "errors", and are nothing that you need to worry about or try and resolve.
