I am trying to get kimpanel to work with my installation but the documentation and feedback I get from the system (~ zero) makes difficult to know what is going on.
What I have done: - Using Debian Jessie with all latest packages updated. - Installed ibus, ibus-anthy, ibus-mozc, plasma-widget-kimpanel. - Added the input method widget to my panel. This shows a pencil icon on the panel. - Started the ibus-daemon with: ibus-daemon -x -p /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kimpanel-ibus-panel At this point nothing happens until I start writing something in chrome. Then the pencil icon changes to a keyboard icon plus an "i" (ibus) icon. But clicking on them does nothing and I cannot change the input method or anything. If I start the ibus daemon with the command: ibus-daemon --xim -p /usr/lib/ibus/ibus-ui-gtk3 then I get japanese input on Chrome but not in Kde apps (e.g. Konsole). If I start the ibus-settings dialog and let it start the daemon for me then Japanese input works perfectly on Kde and Gtk applications. Still I would prefer to use the kimpanel that is more integrated with the Kde desktop. regards, Horacio
