@Gunnar, @Kyle Thanks for your efforts and analysis! However, for me I don't think locale is a strong enough cue to determine whether to start input methods or not. User preferences should be the first priority. At least, a user may choose English as their desktop language for numerous reasons, but he/she may still want to input characters in other languages.
The locale or desktop language can provide a good guess on installing the system or creating an account. But later I think we should only refer to the user preferences. Besides, one will feel weird if the input method goes away after it changes the language of display. I strongly disagree with this. Besides, I'm not sure about Ubuntu's bug policy, but I'm afraid the problem you are talking about is not quite closely related to the bug topic "Search field in Unity can not support iBus". Probably starting another bug about this is better. To me and possibly most of the subscribers to this bug, the original bug is "critical", not this one.
