Comment (by yawning):
To checkpoint what I have managed to figure out:
* XIM support is totally broken, otherwise that would be the easiest way
to get basically everything to work. When Tor Browser switches to Gtk_3,
this may be worth revisiting, but will most likely go away with Wayland,
so isn't a long term viable solution.
* I-Bus appears to be the most common (and is what I use). At a first
glance it involves, giving the container access to `org.freedesktop.IBus`
on the session D-Bus (and only that service), along with giving access to
the I-Bus abstract socket (See `.config/ibus/bus/<blah>`). Making this
resilient to things that the user can do external to the sandbox (eg:
Restarting the ibus daemon) adds further complexity.
* Fcitx support would also be nice, but is probably on the order of
complexity of supporting I-Bus and is less popular.
* SCIM and uim probably don't have the userbase anymore to justify
development time.
