Hi, sorry for being late to reply
I made time for investigation.
> Why do we try im-chooser (https://pagure.io/im-chooser/)?
As far as I remember, one of the reasons is that
im-chooser/im-settings does not provide feature to pick an IMF
according to the current local every time.
It seems that it is working on Plasma Wayland session under
Fedora 28 (but I don't know why). Also it provides extra features
such as xim proxy, to switch IMF dynamically.

Thanks, interesting.
I confirmed it works on Leap 15.0 even though no standard directories
are provided by our systemd package.
It seems that there are several limitations. The cause is that environment
variables are set for each user session not for each desktop session.
This means that
- Users cannot change variables (e.g, GTK_IM_MODULE) depending on the kind of
desktop environment (by using XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP).
- Users cannot use different IMF for each desktop session.
- Users need to exit all the sessions (applications) on their host
to apply changes of those environment variables
(need restart their systemd user session)
+ d-bus API to apply the change is also available
I need to learn about systemd user session more.
BTW:
We have only 12 days to submit proposal of speech at openSUSE.Asia 2018
