- Don't launch ibus if it's not the session-preferred engine - Add fcitx5 implementation of ClutterInputMethod, allowing integration with clutter entries. - fcitx provides all popups and indicators and shortcut handling. This is just a test of standalone fcitx5 support. We probably shouldn't actively break a user's preferred engine, and there are gaps in ibus' language support. There are no real user-facing changes (like to cinnamon's keyboard settings) here yet, only behavioral.

fcitx. Add an infobar to InputSources.py with explanation and a button to launch fcitx5-configtool. Only pass the primary keyboard layout to the x11 server.

This is currently unsupported in wayland (ideally we would implement the input-method-unstable-v2 protocol for this, or route our ClutterInputMethod thru fcitx's dbus frontend).
