> How can you tell that im-config shouldn't start IBus?

Isn't that why system settings vs user settings exist?

For example, my /etc/default/keyboard reads:
XKBLAYOUT="us,gr"
XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"

Then for example Gnome puts those as the default layouts for my session. That's 
what 99% of the local users want.
It doesn't automatically include Swedish, Hebrew and all other possible layouts 
that I might need.
But if some person wants to type in Swedish, he can easily select that on a 
per-user basis from a menu or a configuration file.

Same for im-config, ibus, fcitx, there can be system defaults, and per user 
settings (and AFAIK there already are, the problem is that 
IM_CONFIG_DEFAULT_MODE=auto doesn't process them).
There's no point in millions of users worldwide running ibus without needing it 
just to avoid reading user settings.

I'm certain that ibus was installed but not started for the Greek locale
in previous Ubuntu versions. I haven't looked into im-switch more than
that though.


After Wily is out (when hopefully I'll have some more free time), I'll install 
Debian in a VM and report it there as well, and link the bug # here.

I was just hoping to have a quicker fix, in any of the above packages, in time 
for Wily.
Thank you.
