I'd say you need to reevaluate who constitutes the majority on this planet, and whether or not they use a latin alphabet. ;-) Best, :-) Marko -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Most of us in the rest of the world use this thousands of keystrokes every day. If this were to be overlooked in a distro it would be completely unusable. Native language input for languages associated with roughy half the world's landmass require this. I'm unsure whether this means an American English base install should mark it as "recommended", but since packaging guidelines are region/language agnostic the simple answer is to leave listed as "recommended". -IY -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

If you don't know what it is, most probably you don't need it. OTOH, I am not sure how much system resources it uses when idle, so if it doesn't have a big memory footprint, you can leave it be.

to ibus or not to ibus, that is the question
My system has been working fine. I noticed that the input method selector showed that no input method was in use. I also noticed that ibus was recommended, so I decided to enable it. I logged out and back in, as directed. I haven't got a clue what the advantage is and I don't see any difference, except that there is now an applet in the system tray that says "no input window", but when I start firefox, it says "english default layout (intl)". ibus is recommended, but what am I getting here? I don't see any difference, excepting the (useless) applet. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
