Package: ibus Version: 1.4.0-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? After a recent kernel upgrade, I rebooted my computer. When I logged onto my XFCE 4.8 desktop, which had a stored gnome-terminal session with several windows and tabs, gnome-terminal just popped up with windows that didn't accept any keyboard input. While the window and tab titles were present and could be clicked and dragged, the terminal itself couldn't be used for any shell activity. In short, gnome terminal had hung. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Surprisingly, after killing the hung gnome-terminal instance, I could run another gnome-terminal session without any problems. Gnome-terminal appears to hang only when started from the saved XFCE session. After some trial and error involving deleting the session cache, etc, I was able to stumble upon a weird fix. If I removed a certain ibus config file, *before* I log onto XFCE (by logging in temporarily at the Linux console), I was able to run gnome-terminal straight from the XFCE session. The fix is: rm ~/.cache/ibus/bus/registry.xml This convinces me the problem with the hung gnome-terminal is a problem with Ibus. I also observed this "hung" behavior when Nautilus is run from a saved XFCE session. Sorry for my poor English. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (90, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_SG.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_SG.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages ibus depends on: ii gconf2 3.2.3-1 ii im-config 0.5 ii libc6 2.13-21 ii libgconf2-4 3.2.3-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.30.2-4 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.8-2 ii libibus-1.0-0 1.4.0-1 ii librsvg2-common 2.34.2-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.4.4-4 ii python 2.7.2-9 ii python-ibus 1.4.0-1 ii python-notify 0.1.1-3 ii python-xdg 0.19-3 Versions of packages ibus recommends: ii ibus-gtk 1.4.0-1 ii ibus-qt4 1.3.1-2+b1 ibus suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
