There was not really for system utilities. Apps, sure, but not system utilities.

What do you refer to as system utilities? All the stuff now subsumed by SystemD?
Things like input methods, certain accessibility functions, screen savers and similar things.
Huh? Fcitx and IBus both worked on GNOME and KDE as far as I'm aware. Now, Fcitx using QT and IBus using GTK helps them feel more native on KDE and GNOME respectively, but they would both work.
Doesn't seem possible on Gnome and not very straightforward on other DEs according to the arch wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fcitx5#Integration
It seems to me that the issues on that page are Wayland-specific; anectotally, on my random X window manager works fine with Fcitx (except for Emacs, but that's probably Emacs' fault, not the IME protocol's).
