Public bug reported: In both ubuntu and xubuntu, natty and oneiric (haven't tried kubuntu, though I imagine it works there, at least!) ibus input is broken for qt apps - I can use ctrl-space to type in Japanese, but can't use the compose key to enter accented letters.
I did some poking around, and found that GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus, but QT_IM_MODULE=xim - clearing that variable with 'QT_IM_MODULE= qt_app' fixes the problem. Then I looked to see where it's being set to XIM, and it looks like the problem is in /etc/X11/xinput.d/ibus, line 12. It's looking for /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/inputmethods/libqtim-ibus.so, but the file is actually at /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/qt4/plugins/inputmethods/libqtim-ibus.so. When I corrected the path in this file, the environment variable was correctly set to ibus instead of xim. ** Affects: ibus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/970200 Title: QT apps won't work - QT_IM_MODULE=xim To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/970200/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
