Hi bk,
I'm no expert on Xserver but, I'll tell you what I think it's doing.
First of all, the Xserver is the base interface/platform that graphical
environments like KDE and Gnome run on and Xsession.d is like
a start-up directory where things are automatically started when
the Xserver is initiated (run level 5, booting into a graphical environment).
Exporting variables makes those variables available to any child processes
initiated from the source process. For example, I start a bash shell and
export a varible, then initiate another bash shell from the original and that
"child" shell can read the variable that the parent exported.
In the script 3 language or language classification/category variables
are set to (I assume chinese?) then a particular
X input manager daemon (fcitx) is kicked off or started.
After that XMODIFIERS environment variable is set and exported
telling X clients running on the X server to receive their input via
fcitx input manager (@im=fcitx).
Sorry, I know nothing about fcitx as I've never used it.
