Public bug reported:
After closing ibus by task bar -> icon -> rightclick -> `Close` it seems
to be impossible to restart it.
Here some ways that should work and how they fail:
1) Menu -> ibus
-----------------
- opens iBus settings
- starts ibus service
Problems:
- No keyboard input is actually processed; I.e. cannot use keyboard then.
- Service is not daemonized; I.e. as soon as the iBus settings window is
closed, the services quits.
Suggestion:
- No keyboard input possible seems to be a bug -> should be fixed.
- Service should be daemonized at this point
2) terminal -> `ibus start`
---------------------------
Problems:
- This command does not exist. One has to know, that `ibus-daemon` is the one
they are searching for.
Suggestions:
- Implement this command to start the daemon from here
3) terminal -> `ibus-daemon &` / `ibus-daemon -d`
-------------------------------------------------
- brings up ibus with usable keyboard (good)
Problems:
- As soon as terminal gets closed, ibus-daemon quits
4) terminal -> `nohup ibus-daemon &`
-------------------------------------------------
- brings up ibus with usable keyboard (good)
Problem:
- As soon as terminal gets closed, ibus-daemon quits (very strange. something
I wouldn't expect from a `nohup` call, by the way).
System
=======
- I use ibus in conjunction with ibus-anthy
