Public bug reported:
Some applications, such as gedit, generate messages like the following
when run in a VNC session without a window manager:
(gedit:9710): IBUS-WARNING **: Events queue growing too big,
will start to drop.
Other applications, such as xterm, do not generate the warning. I
originally ran into the problem with an embedded java/SWT application
that I am developing, but the problem shows up clearly with gedit.
Exiting ibus by running "ibus exit" allows gedit to receive input.
This worked until recently, so it appears to be a regression of some
sort. It may be related to
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1004135) and, in fact, may
already be fixed upstream in 1.5.4
(https://github.com/ibus/ibus/commit/98c7bdc5d92d5d2f25eb5f81fe90397664c2d435).
To repeat:
(1) Edit your ".vnc/xstartup" file to not create a normal session. A file
that looks like this will do:
#! /bin/bash -f
(2) Start a vnc server
vncserver :10
(3) Start a vnc viewer
vncviewer :10
(4) With IBUS running, start gedit in the VNC session:
DISPLAY=:10 gedit
(5) Try to type into gedit... nothing will happen.
(6) Terminate the IBUS daemon
ibus exit
(7) Try to type into gedit... you will see text.
(8) restart the ibus daemon
ibus-daemon
(9) Try to type into gedit... nothing will happen.
