Do you happen to know what is needed on our side to support Fcitx5?

Is it https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/fcitx5-frontend-qt6 ?

If you (or somebody else) wants to help, here is the Docker image we're using for creating the nightlly Appimage:

https://gitlab.com/scribus/scribus-ci-docker

You can use it to locally create an Appimage and test it on your computer...
I can provide instructions for doing it.
