Comment #13 on issue 897 by Hetdegon: Ibus 1.3.* conflict or distort kupfer
http://code.google.com/p/ibus/issues/detail?id=897
Got the same issue with Ubuntu 10.10 (fresh install).
Ibus version 1.3.7, Kupfer version is latest git.
Kupfer will not receive regular alphanumeric keys, but will accept input
such as escape, or keys like "." or ",".
A workaround is to open text input with "." or "ctrl+.", then right-click
on text input box and set "input method" to "none". Kupfer will receive
keys normally after that and still allow Ibus languages, but it's
inconvenient at best.
Alternatively you can launch kupfer from a terminal like
GTK_IM_MODULE="xim" XMODIFIERS="@im=none" kupfer --no-splash
but it won't receive input in other languages provided by Ibus.
I was unable to launch Kupfer automatically at startup with the environment
above without messing the global X session (KDE 4.5 in my case), but if
someone is able to do it, it might be a good workaround.
Would updating Ibus to latest git have any positive effect on this bug?
