Bug Description

I don't have any other input source than "English (UK)" added in "Text Entry" in the control centre. In language-selector ibus is selected as the IME in use.

I just logged in and I'm seeing a fcitx indicator. I *do* have fcitx installed, but just having it installed shouldn't cause it to be used unless my configuration demands it, because it doesn't perform any useful function and takes up space.

Let me see if this is the autostart stuff in fcitx-ui-qimpanel causes the trouble.

/etc/xdg/autostart/fcitx-autostart.desktop was a conffile. it won't be removed on package upgrade. Please use maintscript(dpkg-maintscript-helper) to wipe it out properly.

I confirm that file wasn't removed in the package upgrade and I still see Fcitx in Startup Applications.
