The keysym-to-engine-key rule lived in ibus.c, xim/xim.c and gtk/main.c,
and the copies disagreed: GTK sent keypad digits as special keys while
IBus and XIM sent '1'..'9'. Modifiers were rebuilt bit by bit in two
places although Mmask already is the X core layout; only the virtual
Super bit (26) that GDK and IBus set needs folding. ipckey/ipcmod in
ipc.c serve the daemon, the module and the tests.
Only ibus.o needs the D-Bus and xkbcommon flags, so give them the same
per-object scoping as the popup and XIM objects. The docker targets used
-B, which recursive makes inherit: the daemon was linked three times and
the live tests built twice per docker-check. gtk/Makefile repeated the
module-directory check and cache refresh in install and uninstall.
The GTK IM module only emitted the commit signal when the key was
eaten (r != 0). But when a non-matching key is pressed mid-composition
the engine commits the pending preedit and returns eaten=0 so the raw
key passes through, sending a commit string with eaten=0. GTK dropped
it, silently losing the composed text (e.g. Hangul "ㅇ" + "?" yielded
only "?").
Commit whenever a commit string is present, matching the wayland, ibus
and xim frontends.
