Alex,

Yes, migrate it if < 1 days effort to drop legacy gate
for your improvements.

 Hi.
 
 Today imf-selector is used to choose
 default input method. I've ported 
 it to Python gobject/gtk3 in 
 https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/pull/3612 .
 ibus-setup utility once upon a time had
 an ability to manage ibus 
 autostart. It was broken and now is
 disabled. I've created the following 
 patch - 
 https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/pull/3613/commits/e40411787674f7b9d00555d62c8dc643112aa1be
 
 to resurrect it. It generally works,
 but GUI interface is ugly. And it 
 still relies on startup script from
 imf-selector. In theory, we could 
 move this script to ibus, fix GTK
 builder ui file and this would allow 
 us to drop imf-selector (as it's from
 now-closed input-method gate, and 
 we'll likely have no updates from
 upstream, it has some advantages). The 
 question is if it worth the effort, or
 we can just drop iiim, but 
 continue shipping imf-selector.
