Use ibus-m17n as the default IME for Vietnamese

Summary

The current default input method for Vietnamese is ibus-bogo. This should change to the ibus-m17n input method “m17n:vi:telex - telex (m17n)”

Current status

  • Targeted release: Fedora 34
  • Last updated: 2020-12-13
  • FESCo issue: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
  • Tracker bug: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>
  • Release notes tracker: <will be assigned by the Wrangler>

Detailed Description

The current Fedora default input method ibus-bogo seems to be not actively maintained and it doesn't work on Gnome Wayland. The bug has been reported already in Fedora 30, see:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1690326

The ibus-m17n input method vi-telex.mim seems to do the same as ibus-bogo, see

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1690326#c12

Using vi-telex.mim via ibus-m17n seems to behave exactly like ibus-bogo.

If ibus-bogo offers no additional benefit, it is probably better to use ibus-m17n with vi-telex as the default input method for Vietnamese. ibus-m17n has to be maintained anyway. Therefore, this saves the effort of fixing the unmaintained ibus-bogo.

Feedback

Benefit to Fedora

Vietnamese input works again on Gnome-Wayland. Currently with ibus-bogo it is broken.
