I discovered how to switch the keyboard layout and other preferences in Ubuntu 13.10.
Here is what I did - 1. sudo apt-get install ibus-clutter ibus-qt4 (not sure if this step is necessary, but I noticed these two were missing with my Ubuntu 13.10 install, even after enabling ibus-chewing) 2. log out and log back in using gnome-shell (granted not everyone installs gnome-shell, but I did and it's the only way I found so far) 3. you should see input method icon on top gnome panel, next to speaker icon 4. click on input method icon and select another method (e.g. bopomofo or chewing) 5. click on the same input method icon again and you'll see Preference (for bopomofo) and Settings (for Chewing) !!!! >From what I can tell, you can also do the same for bopomofo without >gnome-shell, by executing the following command - python /usr/share/ibus-pinyin/setup/main.py bopomofo Hope this helps, David -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1241309 Title: Ubuntu 13.10 has no way to change individual input method settings Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “ibus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “indicator-keyboard” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This is a UI problem that happens in Ubuntu 13.10, with the default (Unity) desktop. I live in Taiwan and use Chinese input methods. Other languages may differ. This is how I can change the individual settings of input methods in the old Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: (1) With iBus enabled, click on the "keyboard" icon on the upper right corner of the screen. Then click "Preferences". (2) Set the "Show language panel" option to "Always". (3) The "language panel" will appear somewhere on the screen, click on the "Preferences" icon. (4) Then I can set the options of the current input method, such as "Bopomofo" in the screenshot below.

In Ubuntu 13.10, I don't see any way to show the setting of that "Bopomofo" input method, or "Chewing", or whatever. And there is no option to "Show language panel" either.
