Comment #11 on issue 392 by scottro11: ibus works with gnome desktop but
not with window managers like fluxbox
http://code.google.com/p/ibus/issues/detail?id=392
Ok, I have confirmed what I posted earlier.
Did a minimal installation of Fedora 14.
Added X with yum install xorg-x11-\* xterm
Installed haldaemon.
In .xinitrc put
ibus-daemon &
exec twm
Started X. Ran ibus-setup and added anthy. I then ran ibus-setup again,
to see if it had held, and it was blank.
Just to confirm, I then installed fluxbox and went through the same
procedure, making an .xinitrc that reads
ibus-daemon &
exec startfluxbox
Same result with fluxbox, one can't even add an input method.
Trying, just for fun, ibus-daemon --xim & before the fluxbox line made no
difference.
So, to confirm....ibus WILL run in something ilke fluxbox, but on RedHat
based systems, the rpm is missing some dependencies, making it necessary to
install, at a minimum, something like kdebase.
Also, this is a problem with RH rpms. I don't know about Debian, haven't
tried on anything but a default Ubuntu install, which is Gnome. However,
with Arch Linux, a similar procedure, install minimal system, add X, then
add either openbox or fluxbox, then adding ibus-anthy enables me to input
Japanese as expected.
