 set by Debian somewhere in `/etc/X11/Xsession.d/`.

 This workaround seems no longer to be necessary for me on Debian testing,
 using TBB 3.5 with ibus 1.5.4.

 I had `GTK_IM_MODULE=xim` in my `start-tor-browser` for a long time,
 because it allowed me to type in the browser, even though ibus input was
 broken. Today I tried removing that variable assignment, and now
 everything appears to work. I can type in the browser, then I can also
 activate ibus and type that way, too, which I couldn't do before. See? ♥♥♥
