Sorry for the spam. I was so happy that I decided I could finally write in japanese and in spanish, so I added support for Japanese writing.
That accomplished two things: -Now I have the Ibus icon near the clock -Now I cannot use dead keys in non-gnome applications :-( So these are the steps I took: 1) Run "/usr/lib/ibus/ibus-x11 &" without killing current ibus. Still cannot write Á, it writes ´A 2) Restart the computer and run "ps axu | grep -i ibus". Now I see several processes: - /usr/bin/ibus-daemon --xim - /usr/lib/ibus/ibus-gconf - python /usr/share/ibus/ui/gtk/main.py - /usr/lib/ibus/ibus-x11 --kill-daemon - python /usr/share/ibus-anthy/engine/main.py --ibus 3) Try all previous apps (kate, tcl, xterm, etc...). They all fail to write Á So yes, the problem comes when you have a dead-key language, such as spanish or french, and a complex writing language, such as japanese or chinese. I used to be able to overcome this using scim, and selecting spanish inside of it. Now I'm not even able to do that. My guess is that if I try to add japanese to my kubuntu something will break as well. I can try and install a clean kubuntu if you want. -- Accented letters cannot be written on non-gnome apps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335732 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
