** Description changed:

- Please merge this update:
- 
https://github.com/fcitx/fcitx/commit/7018c686aab1e9c03495c7162c0c091d7afc1e75.
+ [Impact]
  
- Otherwise fcitx cannot be used in vncserver (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS xenial)
+ fcitx's classicui implementation should check for the availability of
+ XShape before using it, which would be the case for some vncserver
+ sessions.
  
- ProblemType: Bug
- DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04

+ [Test Case]
+ 
+ fcitx should not crash with classicui under vncserver session.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+ This commit adds checks before using XShape, the chance of regression is
+ minimal. In the other hand classic ui is not the default in Ubuntu, so
+ the impact is low.
