Patch from upstream

After a recent (May 21st) large-ish system upgrade, I found emoji input using app-i18n/ibus under KDE (but also affecting gtk applications and whatever LibreWolf / chromium/Electron based stuff uses etc):

Upon investigation, the emoji chooser behaves as if there are no emoji definitions present - which means, it shows zero UI in my backbrain-wired "typing a couple characters from the start of the desire emoji name and press space" case.

Running ibus-daemon in the foreground/with console gave me a ton of gtk serialization errors, which lead me to a related ibus issue:

https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2476

That issue mentioned a patch, and quickly trying this out on my system fixes this issue for me.

Disclaimer: I don't understand how gtk serialization works, and what the effects/ramifications of that patch are exactly - why I and the reporter of that issue need it, but fujiwarat on their system don't.

Anyway, I'll attach the patch and diff for the ebuild as it's currently working for me. 😉
