The workaround used now is to run "ibus exit" in .config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart

I generally have that bound to a custom lisp function, but by default (e.g. starting with `emacs -Q`) it is bound to set- mark-command. After doing a dist-upgrade in Trusty which installs ibus 1.5.5-1ubuntu1, emacs no longer even sees the control-space key chord. My guess is that ibus is consuming this event, preventing emacs from seeing it. This is a critical regression that makes emacs almost unusable. By process of elimination, I've narrowed it down to one of these 4 binary packages. gir1.2-ibus-1.0 ibus ibus-gtk ibus-gtk3 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: ibus 1.5.5-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-8.27-generic 3.13.2 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-8-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.13.2-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Mon Feb 10 15:15:57 2014 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-12-06 (66 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Release amd64 (20131016.1) SourcePackage: ibus UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/1278569/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
