Another thing you might look for is, if the startup errors (non-logged; you'll have to dig into the console or .xsession-errors of you run a DM and it supports it) has complaints about "input methods" or "input contexts", in the case that you're running in a strange locale (as your name might imply). Ion only has very basic support for X input managers, so pre-edit windows etc. might not work. -- Be an early adopter! Beat the herd! Choose Windows today!
