/pengwin-setup.d/ibus.sh does not actually make ibus available in Pengwin WSL, but works in Ubuntu WSL

• /pengwin-setup.d/ibus.sh does not actually make ibus available in Pengwin WSL, but works in Ubuntu WSL. Refer to https://github.com/WhitewaterFoundry/pengwin-setup/blob/d561920b8e04fcf8a8f0861d27c90ce4fd82f9f6/pengwin-setup.d/ibus.sh .
• The logic of this file is roughly as follows.

sudo apt-get install ibus ibus-gtk ibus-gtk3 fonts-noto-cjk fonts-noto-color-emoji dbus-x11 zenity -y
sudo apt-get install ibus-gtk4 -y
sudo apt-get install ibus-libpinyin -y
export XIM=ibus
export XIM_PROGRAM=/usr/bin/ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
export DefaultIMModule=ibus
sudo sh -c 'echo "export XIM=ibus" > /etc/profile.d/ibus.sh'
sudo sh -c 'echo "export XIM_PROGRAM=/usr/bin/ibus" >> /etc/profile.d/ibus.sh'
sudo sh -c 'echo "export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus" >> /etc/profile.d/ibus.sh'
sudo sh -c 'echo "export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus" >> /etc/profile.d/ibus.sh'
sudo sh -c 'echo "export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus" >> /etc/profile.d/ibus.sh'
sudo sh -c 'echo "export DefaultIMModule=ibus" >> /etc/profile.d/ibus.sh'
ibus-daemon -x -d
ibus-setup
sudo pkill ibus-daemon
ibus-daemon -x -d
sudo sh -c 'echo "ibus-daemon -drx > /dev/null 2>&1" >> /etc/profile.d/ibus.sh'

• That is, execute the following command.

# On Pengwin WSL
pengwin-setup update
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
# In the current issue, it is set to `zh_CN.UTF-8 UTF-8`. 
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

# Before executing `echo $LANG`, open a new Pengwin WSL shell. Make sure `echo $LANG` outputs `zh_CN.UTF-8`.
echo $LANG

# install GUI -> NLI -> IBUS. Select libpinyin. Select libpinyin for the ibus engine. All other options are y.
pengwin-setup

• At this time, you may wish to use microsoft-edge to test ibus.

# Restart WSL by executing `wsl --shutdown` in Windows PowerShell 5.1 or PowerShell 7.
# Open a new Pengwin WSL Shell.

# On Pengwin WSL
# Install Microsoft Edge to test
cd /tmp/
wget https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/edge/pool/main/m/microsoft-edge-stable/microsoft-edge-stable_122.0.2365.92-1_amd64.deb?brand=M102 -O ./microsoft-edge-stable.deb
sudo apt install --fix-missing ./microsoft-edge-stable.deb -y
microsoft-edge

• At this point, ibus cannot be used in microsoft-edge.
• 
• This honestly surprises me, since the same process is sufficient to get Ubuntu WSL to start ibus. See Lack of an application similar to gnome-startup-applications in Ubuntu WSL affects the use of ibus ubuntu/WSL#483 . The only difference is that there is no apt-get package named language-pack-gnome-zh-hans-base in Pengwin WSL. sudo sh -c 'echo "ibus-daemon -drx > /dev/null 2>&1" >> /etc/profile.d/ibus.sh' doesn't seem to have any effect. Because ibus-daemon has a -r parameter to kill existing old ibus-daemon processes, you can actually simplify the commands executed.

# On Ubuntu WSL  22.04

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
# In the current issue, it is set to `zh_CN.UTF-8`. 
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

# Before executing `echo $LANG`, open a new Ubuntu WSL shell. Make sure `echo $LANG` outputs `zh_CN.UTF-8`.
echo $LANG
# I would say this will provide a Chinese GUI for `ibus-setup`.
sudo apt install language-pack-gnome-zh-hans-base -y
cd /tmp/
# Install Microsoft Edge
wget https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/edge/pool/main/m/microsoft-edge-stable/microsoft-edge-stable_122.0.2365.92-1_amd64.deb?brand=M102 -O ./microsoft-edge-stable.deb
sudo apt install --fix-missing ./microsoft-edge-stable.deb -y
# Install the input method framework `ibus` and the input method editor `ibus-libpinyin`
sudo apt-get install fonts-noto-cjk fonts-noto-color-emoji dbus-x11 zenity -y
sudo apt-get install ibus-libpinyin -y
sh -c 'echo "export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus" >> ~/.bashrc'
sh -c 'echo "export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus" >> ~/.bashrc'
sh -c 'echo "export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus" >> ~/.bashrc'
source ~/.bashrc
ibus-daemon -dxr
# Add Input Method `中文 -> 智能拼音`
ibus-setup

# Restart WSL by executing `wsl --shutdown` in Windows PowerShell 5.1 or PowerShell 7.
# Open a new Ubuntu WSL Shell.
ibus-daemon -dxr
microsoft-edge

What I've found is that if you delete the English input method, it actually works

• I realize that ibus-setup can only be configured via the GUI, which introduces a lot of variables. I will upload a video of configuring ibus under Pengwin WSL in the current issue or video website soon to verify the difference.
