[SOLVED?] UIM Input Issue in Chrome & Telegram

Hello everyone,
I'm facing a very stubborn issue: UIM Italian/Japanese input works flawlessly in most applications (terminal, Firefox, text editors) on my Arch Linux (Openbox, no DE, no DM) system, but fails specifically in google-chrome-stable (v136.0.7103.113) and Telegram Desktop (5.14.3-2): when I press the UIM hotkey to switch language, nothing happens.

$ cat .bashrc 
#
# ~/.bashrc
#

# If not running interactively, don't do anything
[[ $- != *i* ]] && return

alias ls='ls --color=auto'
PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '

#export GTK_IM_MODULE=uim
#export QT_IM_MODULE=uim

$ cat .xinitrc

Fuck.
I found https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=305618 (one of few hits for the patterns) but unfortunately that's your system…

strace chromium, I suspect i'll change the GTK_PATH variable and the plugin indeed isn't where chrome is looking for it
