[oi-dev] ibus-setup autostart management

[Alexander Pyhalov]

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.
