Description:

Alacritty fails to start with the following error (snipped):

thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to open input method: PotentialInputMethods {...}, /build/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/winit-0.24.0/src/platform_impl/linux/x11/mod.rs:134:17

Additional info:

* Tried with latest from community (0.7.2) and head from git via alacritty-git (aur).
* Reproduced with empty (deleted) config
* Reported upstream here: https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/5153
* Perhaps related to: https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit/issues/636
* locales setup appears okay
* most recent pacman system updates updated the following, of which libx11-1.7.1-1 seems important?
