Comment #3 on issue 1662 by takao.fujiwara1: [NewFeatures] Saving engine's
local mode for next boot
http://code.google.com/p/ibus/issues/detail?id=1662
Let us consider users who need xkb engines such as Arabic layout.
OK, it's a good point. Probably I think the default initial mode can be
Eisu but it can be customized with the engine gsettings key.
I also think ibus-daemon should be able to control engines local (input)
mode via APIs and manage their initial mode to prevent implementations
of engines complex.
Probably I think it's impossible without changing engine because the
initial value is saved in each engine at present. If the engines export the
value to ibus core, the engine also needs to be modified.
I think ibus-daemon won't control engine properties and needs to be
simplified. Especially ibus-daemon does not require DISPLAY.
setxkbmap command is run by ibus-ui-gtk.
I think fixing it in each engine would be an easy way.
If try to implement it in ibus-ui-gtk, need to modify gnome-shell too.
If engines really need to send the XKB keymaps by modes to ibus-ui-gtk,
probably we can add the keymaps in IBusProperty but I think ibus-ui-gtk can
set the XKB upon engine's request and the initial XKB will be decided by
each engine.
Because the input mode is the special properties of some engines and other
engines do not have it and only the input mode needs the customizable
initial mode but other properties do not need it. I feel it's a similar
discussion to show input mode on ibus panel icon.
I could not get the agreement to show the input mode on ibus panel icon
because it's the special engine's request and I'm working on showing
non-static GUI for engine properties.
Maybe I have no better idea at the moment. If you think to implement it in
ibus core, I think the furthermore specification or patch is needed.
