Issue
The keyboard (keyboard layout) applet is not shown. When I remove and then add it, I can see the message "Something went wrong while loading keyboard@cinnamon..." in the applets manager. When I turn on the panel edit mode, the icon of the applet can be seen. It also flickers when I change keyboard layout options. The layouts I've set up are English (US), Russian and Chinese (the fcitx input method)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the missing keyboard applet on Cinnamon 4.6.7 with English (US), Russian, and Chinese via fcitx, then review the applet manager error and the attached xsession-errors.txt and syslog.txt. Done means the keyboard layout applet loads normally, remains visible outside panel edit mode, and does not flicker when layouts change.
