Haven't tested light-dm (yet), so my comments below are based on gdm only. And to prevent any misunderstandings: The unity 3d issue remains to be solved.

As a side remark, Language Support is the principal tool for selecting languages and locales. But of course, if you set a language there, that language is preselected on the login screen next time you log in, and accepting that setting by doing nothing is also a choice... > That should set the LC_MESSAGES env variable. Confirmed. (A tiny detail, though: if LC_MESSAGES happens to equal LANG, the LC_MESSAGES variable is not set explicitly. But that doesn't matter, since LC_MESSAGES inherits the LANG value in those cases.) > So, If the user selects a locale that implicates input methods, then > $LC_MESSAGES should reflect that, and 'ps aux | grep ibus' should > show ibus-daemon is running (and others). Confirmed. > Can people test this? Indeed. Since the actual code change is very small, the easiest way is to edit /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80im-switch as I mentioned in my last comment. This is what the diff looks like: --- old/80im-switch 2009-12-06 14:16:40 +0100 +++ /etc/X11/Xsession.d/80im-switch 2011-05-19 08:20:24 +0200 @@ -21,7 +21,7 @@ _QT_IM_MODULE=$QT_IM_MODULE # $LNG is locale <language>_<region> without .<encoding> and .<encoding>@EURO -LNG=${LC_ALL:-${LC_CTYPE:-${LANG}}} +LNG=${LC_ALL:-${LC_MESSAGES:-${LANG}}} LNG=${LNG%@*} LNG=${LNG%.*} > Perhaps the larger point is that a single system should support > multiple users/accounts, some of which require input methods, and > some of which do not, depending on their language (locale).

Even if I haven't tested that either, I can't see a reason why it shouldn't work just like that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/663776 Title: [dash] Search field in Unity can not support iBus -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
