So I'll sponsor the patch as-is with the change to the ibus-daemon
parameters. This affects both Oneiric and Precise, but we'll start with
pushing this to precise-proposed for testing, at which point we can also
upload to oneiric-proposed.
** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+ Impacts all users of CJK languages or any other user depending on IBUS for
character composition. This is a rather large user base and the prority of this
bug has been updated as to reflect the impact on users.
+ The missing indicator on session start disables users from having a visual
cue of the current state of the ibus support for their session, as well as the
current ibus input method in use, which may change during the course of a
session. Furthermore, since the underlying issue appears to be related to
ibus-daemon startup, this may render ibus input unusable until the daemon is
restarted.
+
+ [Development Fix]
+ Fix is as discussed in this bug report, to apply the debdiff provided by
Ikuya Awashiro. This change modifies the parameters passed to ibus-daemon when
it is started by the session manager on a new session; and makes ibus-daemon
replace any previously running ibus daemon for the user.
+
+ [Stable Fix]
+ See "Development Fix".
+
+ [Test Case]
+ 1) Start a Unity session with a CJK language (Chinese, Japanese, Korean,
Vietnamese) or any other language depending on ibus to compose characters.
+ 2) Verify that the ibus indicator is shown in the Unity panel, and that ibus
input can be used.
+
+ The indicator should be visible in all cases. Since this bug is akin to
+ a race condition, it may need a few startups to trigger the bug.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Minimal, this only affects the ibus daemon on session startup in the way that
it gets spawned by the session manager: it will replace any other running ibus
daemon at the time, though none should be running before ibus-daemon gets
spawned regardless. A different (or the same) ibus daemon can still be started
manually.
+ Possible issues could include the ibus daemon failing to start altogether
with the session, in which case the ibus input methods would be unavailable,
and can be started manually by users (using a terminal).
+
+ ------
+
iBus still run but doesn't show off in the panel, in every way. The only
thing to make it right is do ibus-deamon -rxd
