Migration request from IBusConfig to GSettings

[fujiwarat]

I'm the maintainer of IBus. ibus-rime uses IBusConfig and I'd ask to migrate it to GSettings and delete IBusConfig.

E.g. rime_settings.c

ibus_rime_load_settings (void)
{
    const gchar *rime_schema_id = "org.freedesktop.ibus.engine.rime";
    const gchar *panel_schema_id = "org.freedesktop.ibus.panel";
    GSettings *rime_settings = g_settings_new (rime_schema_id);
    GSettings *panel_settings = g_settings_new (panel_schema_id);
    GVariant *value;

    value = g_settings_get_value (rime_settings, "embed-preedit-text");
    if (!value) {
        value = g_settings_get_value (panel_settings, "embed-preedit-text");
    }

    g_signal_connect (rime_settings, "changed", ibus_rime_settings_value_changed_cb);
}

Instead of porting to GSettings, I'm thinking of switching to Rime's configuration files (in YAML format) which users from Windows and macOS are already familiar of. Several users have asked why their UI configuration doesn't work for ibus-rime, which make me realize that it's inconsistent.

I don't mind YAML or GSettings. My request is to drop IBusConfig in each engine.
