Where is the input method configuration file?
My ibus input method was broken after an update. So I switched to fcitx.
Actually, there are a handful IMs (Input Methods) installed in my Fedora 19 system, e.g. fcitx, ibus, yong, etc.
However, I don't know how to configure them. My default IM for gnome-terminal is yong, ibus for gmrun. As for firefox or chrome, I guess they use ibus by default, because GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus.
There are just-work solutions. I can switch IM by right-click-menu in some applications like gnome-terminal or gmrun. I can also specify IM with GTK_IM_MODULE. But how to do it automatically?
I know the IM settings have something to do with configuration files like
~/.xinputrc/etc/X11/xinit/xinputrc/etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/ibus.conf/etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/fcitx.conf/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc/etc/alternatives/xinputrc
The questions are
- How to configure IM properly?
- What configuration files really matter? In which execution order?

Do you mean selecting an IME to use by an application or configuring a particular IME?
