I have found a way to reproduce some bugginess. Whenever I restart X (Alt+F2 "r"), I start typing in Chinese fine though I cannot "turn off" Chinese input (I may or may not have to fiddle with input methods, though I do not update my input method ...). Then, in order to regain English-typing ability, I have to change my default keyboard manually to something else (in this case, from Eng Dvorak to Eng US) and back, and then I regain my main English typing ability. If I want to type in Chinese again, I simply have to repeat and restart X again with Alt+F2 "r".
