Still an issue here on 18.04 ... Tried the PPA ppa:unity7maintainers/unity7-desktop by curiosity... but this is loaded with crippling bugs that render it unusable and does not have the desktop sharing icon anymore. The workaround from comment number 11, from Zakhar (alainb06) worked for me:

Confirmed on vivid... Here's the lazy man's fix. It'll replace the dash Skype icon launching command to unset XMODIFIERS before launching skype. You just have to copy paste in a shell: DESKTOPFILE=/usr/share/applications/skype.desktop if [ -e "$DESKTOPFILE" ]; then sudo sed -ri

I have ``ibus-gtk``, and Ubuntu 15.04, inkscape 0.91.0+47~ubuntu14, but I was hit by the same issue. The value of GTK_IM_MODULE is ``xim``. Had to launch inkscape with: unset GTK_IM_MODULE inkscape to use it properly. This bug is extremely old and even if it seems related to other packages

My fix was tested and used throughout all version from 12.10 up to 14.04 (I've updated it each time). It's not perfect as there are some little sorting issues. Nevertheless, it fixes a few complaints on empathy. The most easy one is the icon size for avatars.
