gnome-bg-only-parse-XML-files-as-slideshows.patch gnome-bg: only parse XML files as slideshows
Currently, loading gnome-control-center tries to load every single file
in your wallpaper collection about 10x into memory, then parse it with
GMarkup only to discard it when it fails.

This culls that to 2 loads of actual XML files on my local jhbuild setup.
Christian Hergert <chergert@redhat.com> yes upstream upstream, 42, commit:f27670d498b47695bf76b7ff8d2df067c87b3038 2024-08-28
languages-Look-at-LOCPATH-before-compile-time-LIBLOCALEDI.patch languages: Look at $LOCPATH before compile-time LIBLOCALEDIR
This allows unit testing on a minimal system with no locales set up, by
generating some locales in a directory and setting LOCPATH.

Use-mozc-as-the-default-input-source-for-Japanese.patch Use mozc as the default input source for Japanese
Upstream prefers ibus-anthy for Japanese input, while Debian uses
ibus-mozc as the default. In particular, task-japanese-gnome-desktop
Recommends ibus-mozc on architectures where it is available.

There seems to be consensus that mozc is a better default for Debian. It
is also the default in Ubuntu since 16.04 at the request of Japanese
Ubuntu users, according to Ubuntu developer Gunnar Hjalmarsson.

Fall-back-to-ibus-anthy-if-ibus-mozc-jp-is-unavailable.patch Fall back to ibus:anthy if ibus:mozc-jp is unavailable
According to discussion on #1029821, mozc only supports little-endian
CPU architectures (for example i386 and arm64) and does not support
big-endian CPU architectures (for example powerpc and s390x), which
is why task-japanese-desktop and task-japanese-gnome-desktop have a
fallback dependency on uim-anthy and ibus-anthy respectively. Reflect
this by falling back to anthy if mozc doesn't appear to be installed.
