They should better be solved.

It should also be mentioned that the input source switching GUIs in
Unity and GNOME, especially the latter, are designed so the user
shouldn't typically need to know about IBus or im-config. They should be
able to just pick a source and start typing.

Please note that the IBus processes are started in Unity and GNOME (not
sure about GNOME Flashback) anyway. What's affected by the im-config
configuration is the IM related environment variables.
