  unable to use input method.

  # use immodule when available for Qt5
  for IM_CONFIG_MARKER in /usr/lib/*/qt5/plugins/platforminputcontexts/im-hime.so \
                          /usr/lib/qt5/plugins/platforminputcontexts/im-hime.so ; do
      if [ -e $IM_CONFIG_MARKER ]; then
          QT_IM_MODULE=hime
          break
      fi
  done
