yes. that's one of the background knowledge. and another background knowledge: fcitx is capable of inputing in Traditional Chinese( IBus don't make it even work), Simplified Chinese(as I said, top choice if user has choices), Korean( korean Ubuntu users is discussing it in their forums just right now.), Vietnamese. and Japanese is starting in two months after Weng finished his graduation paper. it's for GNOME 3.6 right? he invent fcitx-keyboard in just two days but solid. can't you wait two month and work on other parts of fcitx? and acutally, we're not pushing to eliminate IBus. we said so much about fcitx, just want you know there're better choice for users which should be taken into consideration for compatibility even if you're integrating IBus. and they're waiting for you invitation for the so-called "productive relationship".
