Even it's under Untiy 8 session, this is still troublesome, since 3rd
party input methods will have their own on-screen keyboard
implementation, and for everyday use, maliit's variables should be
exported by im-config, not itself.

Title:
  Troublesome export in /etc/profile.d/maliit-framework.sh

Status in maliit-framework package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This package contains a file, /etc/profile.d/maliit-framework.sh,
  which exports QT_IM_MODULE=maliitphablet, which forces people who
  installed this package use Maliit. This will cause several problems:

  1. When the export is done after im-config (and usually qtconfig),
  then all Qt application will try to use maliit as the input method,
  making all other input method fail to work for user.

  2. When the export is done before im-config, im-config will give up
  setting any of the other variables or starting the selected input
  method, this will lead to a result that no input method runs for the
  session.
