fcitx running but not functional in Gnome

Seems like there's been a lot of threads posted by people with similar problems, but I've tried everything I've come across and nothing has worked. I've put the lines

export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx

everywhere I can think of, to no avail.

Here's the output of my fcitx-diagnose:

# System Info:

Re: fcitx running but not functional in Gnome

If you aren't running GNOME on xorg I find it highly unlikely for this to work, so you should ensure you are starting a xorg, as opposed to a default wayland session.

Re: fcitx running but not functional in Gnome

Alternatively, you could check out IBus instead of fcitx. Gnome should have full support for that on both Xorg and Wayland.

I am aware of this and have double checked that I am using X11 and not Wayland. @Seth: appreciate the link but my problem isn't Wayland smile

IBus has terrible support for traditional Chinese characters, else I would use it. I appreciate the suggestion though.

If anyone has any idea what might be going wrong, please let me know.... otherwise it looks like it's gonna be a Gnome uninstall for me.

EDIT/UPDATE: I decided to try out IBus anyways....and I have a very similar problem. IBus is running but will not allow me to input Chinese (I'll be in Chinese input mode but it'll only type English), with the exception of bopomofo input modes, which will let me type. I'm not too keen on learning the very unintuitive bopomofo layout and would very much prefer to have Pinyin work. Anyone have any ideas? (I have already generated Taiwan and China UTF-8 locales, by the way.)

Re: fcitx running but not functional in Gnome

Because of

        fcitx(+0x17be)[0x55c87f0587be]
        /usr/lib/libc.so.6(+0x3a7e0)[0x7fa4967cf7e0]
        /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3(dbus_watch_get_enabled+0x0)[0x7fa4963efea0]
        /usr/lib/fcitx/fcitx-dbus.so(+0x231a)[0x7fa4969f331a]
        /usr/lib/fcitx/fcitx-dbus.so(+0x24f5)[0x7fa4969f34f5]

        fcitx(+0x11be)[0x55c87f0581be]

a) did you reboot after the last update?
b) did you try downgrading dbus?

Also: did your setup work before and is this actually isolated to GNOME?
