Package: libqtcore4 Version: 4:4.5.3-4 Severity: normal Dear Qt maintainers, I've recently installed Debian for somebody needing support for entering traditional Chinese characters. I chose iBus to allow that and works great so far. To enable iBus at login time there is a small one-liner in the .kde4/Autostart directory and three lines in the .bashrc, including > export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
And while Gtk+ or X applications honer the exported variable and allow iBus to be activated for them, Qt applications don't. A workaround for the time being is to start any Qt application from e.g. terminal with > QT_IM_MODULE=ibus [APPLICATION]& where [APPLICATION] is replaced by the application's name, e.g. kwrite. This behaviour was observed with KWrite, Skype and some other Qt-based applications. Gtk+-based applications like Pidgin or Iceweasel work as expected (hitting Ctrl + space activates the iBus input method). If you should need further information, please feel free to ask me, I'll run the tests and return the information ASAP. Kind regards, Kai Wasserbäch P.S.: Setting QT4_IM_MODULE doesn't help either. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31.6-cabal Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to de_DE.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libqtcore4 depends on: ii libc6 2.10.1-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.4.1-4 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.2-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libstdc++6 4.4.1-4 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-15 compression library - runtime libqtcore4 recommends no packages. libqtcore4 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Kai Wasserbäch (Kai Wasserbaech) E-Mail: deb...@carbon-project.org Jabber (debianforum.de): Drizzt URL: http://wiki.debian.org/C%C3%B9ran GnuPG: 0xE1DE59D2 0600 96CE F3C8 E733 E5B6 1587 A309 D76C E1DE 59D2 (http://pgpkeys.pca.dfn.de/pks/lookup?search=0xE1DE59D2&fingerprint=on&hash=on&op=vindex)
