Jatin K MalikandGitHub 93032471c3 fix(ibus): detect IBus on Wayland without env vars and fix text injection (#381)
Fix two related IBus issues on KDE Plasma Wayland (and similar DEs):

1. IBus not detected without legacy environment variables:
   On Wayland, IBus is configured via the DE's Virtual Keyboard setting
   and IBus itself recommends unsetting GTK_IM_MODULE / QT_IM_MODULE.
   The detection logic only checked these env vars, so it never found
   IBus on a properly configured Wayland session.

   Fix: When no IM env vars are set, check if ibus-daemon is running
   and has an active engine. If another IM (e.g. Fcitx) is explicitly
   configured via env vars, respect that and don't override.

2. IBus text injection silently fails on Wayland:
   After switching to the Vocalinux IBus engine, the code called
   setxkbmap to capture/restore the keyboard layout. On Wayland,
   setxkbmap does not reflect the compositor's state and returns
   incorrect results (e.g. 'us' when the user has 'de'). Calling
   setxkbmap to restore this wrong layout interfered with IBus's
   ability to commit text, causing silent injection failures.

   Fix: Skip setxkbmap-based XKB layout management entirely on
   Wayland sessions. The Wayland compositor manages keyboard layouts
   natively, and setxkbmap can only cause harm there.
