Fcitx says there is "No Input Window"

I can't seem to get Fcitx working. It will launch at startup like it's supposed to, but it says there's no input window and I can't change the input method. I've tried both GTK and QT applications, as well as setting my environment variables based on what the Wiki recommends with no luck. I've posted the output of fcitx-diagnose and will be happy to provide any information I can.

Re: Fcitx says there is "No Input Window"

fcitx-diagnose says $GTK_IM_MODULE and $QT_IM_MODULE are not correctly set. Could you re-check it?

Re: Fcitx says there is "No Input Window"

Thank you for your reply. It should be set correctly. Here is my xinitrc for reference:

sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

# merge in defaults and keymaps

if [ -f $sysresources ]; then







    xrdb -merge $sysresources

fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if [ -f "$userresources" ]; then







    xrdb -merge "$userresources"

fi

if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
    xmodmap "$usermodmap"
fi

# start some nice programs

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then

 done
 unset f

Re: Fcitx says there is "No Input Window"

Those export commands will not run -- nothing in .xinitrc will run after "exec xterm".

Oh... Well I feel stupid. Would this be a better place to put them?

#!/bin/sh

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap
export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx

xterm -geometry 80x20+494-0 &
exec xterm -geometry 80x66+0+0 -name login

EDIT: Nevermind, I fixed it! Moved export variables to xprofile. Please mark as solved.
