Fix Fcitx5 for Steam (Flatpak) on Fedora KDE Wayland

Fix Fcitx5 for Steam (Flatpak) on Fedora KDE Wayland

If you are using Fcitx5 on Fedora KDE Wayland and Steam (Flatpak) refuses to show the input candidate window, follow these steps to fix the XWayland/XIM bridge. (Tested on Fedora KDE Plasma 43)
