After the installation was over (with software customization set 'later', no software or repositories added, everything default), I made a reboot, and logged in, and it was a Gnome, obviously. And the interesting point is, here iBus was working and I added a Bangla Probhat keyboard in iBus and on a Gedit window I typed Bangla at ease. Now I made 'yum -y update' and did a reboot, and still iBus Bangla Probhat was working. Now I installed the group XFCE and rebooted and logged in into Xfce, and iBus did not work, the usual problem, as reported in the bug your OP quoted. Now I installed yumex and got into yumex. Searched for the string 'imsetting' and saw that a package named 'imsetting' was installed, and as expected, another package named 'imsetting-xfce' was there but it was not installed, as you predicted, which now I did and it worked. So, there was a default 'imsetting' that was being used by Gnome. So, it does not matter, if Gnome did not have its own imsetting package. It was using the system-wide default. And not that any package selected by mine did make it happen. It happened by default. And Xfce, even when the system-wide 'imsetting' is installed and working and the group 'XFCE' is called for install, is not installing its own version of imsetting. A working system is rendered unworkable (by 'work' in terms of iBus) by adding Xfce. Do you think it is an expected behavior of 'groupinstall XFCE'? What the whole OS is doing on its system default, is getting broken by installing XFCE, a part added to the whole. Do you consider it as a bug? -- দাশ das http://ddts.randomink.org/ _______________________________________________ Fedora-india mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-india
