The setting does seem to work somewhat with Saucy and IBus 1.5.3, though switching it on and off again multiple times resulted in it temporarily overriding the system keyboard layout so that it functioned like the Japanese one, and additionally adding a Japanese keyboard layout to the list of available input methods by itself.
However, re-configuring the system keyboard layout in the system settings, removing the Japanese layout and restarting IBus took care of those issues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ibus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1235991 Title: Can't “use system keyboard layout” in Saucy Status in “ibus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In Saucy, ibus becomes more tightly integrated with the desktop. Configuring it via ibus-setup doesn't affect the instance run by ubuntu. And with the new system, there's no way to replicate the behaviour of the old “use system keyboard layout” option. When I use, for example, pinyin (Chinese) or anthy (Japanese), I want to type the letters in dvorak. I've been doing that for years, and now in Saucy it's impossible.
