I'm not too delighted with Ikuya's patch. It would mean that ibus often would be started twice. It would also break the role that im-switch currently has in Ubuntu; please see comment #2 in bug #788033 for a description of how it works.
Instead I decided to give the idea with delaying the start of ibus that im-switch does a try. I have prepared two im-switch branches, which simply delay the ibus start by 10 seconds. They did make a difference when I tested, and I think those branches would be suitable to upload to quantal-proposed respective precise-proposed. Binary builds of the branches are available in my PPA at https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/misc to facilite testing. It would be great if you could install the applicable im-switch package and let us know if it addresses the issue of this bug properly. P.S. As regards quantal, I encountered another, much more serious issue when testing: Ibus seems to simply not work! I usually test by opening gedit and enable ibus, but as soon as I started to type, ibus was disabled and my typing resulted in latin characters... It would be great if somebody who actually uses ibus tests it in quantal, and files a bug if my observation proves to be correct. ** Changed in: im-switch (Ubuntu Quantal) Status: Confirmed => In Progress ** Changed in: im-switch (Ubuntu Quantal) Assignee: (unassigned) => Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) ** Changed in: im-switch (Ubuntu Precise) Status: Confirmed => In Progress ** Changed in: im-switch (Ubuntu Precise) Assignee: (unassigned) => Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875435 Title: iBus indicator does not show on the panel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/875435/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
