Public bug reported: Certain applications have associated input hangs, where no key input events can be sent which sometimes clear after some time, and in at least one case (Inkscape), this is eliminated by running from Start->Run as follows, hence overriding the declaration of GTK_IM_MODULE in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70im-config_launch , distributed in im-config...
bash -c "unset GTK_IM_MODULE && inkscape" A permanent fix on my machine could be to modify the 70im-config_launch file, or declare an overriding export in some later .rc file. Anyone know where I should make this declaration if not modifying package- maintained files? An alternative solution could be to install scim-gtk-immodule and run... bash -c "export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim && inkscape" See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape/+bug/1385009 Similar behaviours are experienced with Kupfer - minutes of hang with apparently no input events being passed, followed by (sometimes) unfreezing. I'm running Lubuntu Utopic with LXDE and Compiz (minimal dependencies on GTK), so it's feasible that some component is not properly declared in a dependent package. I can't find whether there is in fact a xim module available and running anywhere on my system. How can I check? Other input issues relating to out-of-order key event delivery to Chrome-based applications are experienced on the same build, but I think this may be an independent bug, ostensibly resolved by declaring IBUS_SYNC_MODE=1 https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=456766 but thought I should mention as it's kind of in the same subsystem and may be linked. I speculate that there is some missing dependency or bad configuration in the default presentation of IM capabilities, which eventually causes a DBUS timeout or similar, eventually causing a fallback without any international input, but which is functional.
