Re: Japanese Input wont't without manually adding environmental variables?

Hello, yasu

I recently submitted #44354, which would set GUIX_GTK*_IM_MODULE_FILE
from the system configuration.  Once this patch is merged, you should
be able to add ibus and ibus-anthy to your operating-system packages
and have them picked up from there by gnome.

Note, that this patch would as it is currently likely only set
GUIX_GTK3_IM_MODULE_FILE, because the gnome package does not contain
anything linked against gtk+-2.  If that is a concern, you can add an
application that does to it.  Mine currently looks like this:

```
  (package
    (inherit gnome)
    (propagated-inputs
     `(,@(package-propagated-inputs gnome)
       ;; IBus
       ("ibus" ,ibus)
       ("ibus-anthy" ,ibus-anthy)
       ;; World
       ("dconf-editor" ,dconf-editor)
       ("evolution" ,evolution)
       ("evolution-data-server" ,evolution-data-server)
       ("gitg" ,gitg)
       ("gnome-tweaks" ,gnome-tweaks)
       ("polari" ,polari)
       ("seahorse" ,seahorse))))
```

[As you can see, just ibus and a few more Gnome packages, but none
using Gtk+ 2.]

Best regards,
