Hmm...Maybe you don't have to manually edit /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules, specifying xim for english locale. You just need to install fcitx- gtk2/3, AND add the following line to your .xinitrc: export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx It seems that the Archwiki fcitx entry (Simplified Chinese version) is out-of-date. You could consult the English version. Cheers.
