The reason for this bug is that when you start gedit or so IM module from IBus got loaded. As you do "sudo", the user of IM module would be "root".
However, the ibus-daemon is started by the normal user in most cases, which would create ~/.config/ibus/bus if it doesn't exists. IIRC, this is the limitation of current D-Bus technology that two processes having different user (uid) cannot communicate. The warning is just the superfacial representation of it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ibus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1125944 Title: (gedit:3366): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/oem/.config/ibus/bus is not root!
