"ibus" package, as a main package, has ridiculously 85 open bugs. http://packages.qa.debian.org/ibus
Though many of the bugs are outdated, it is easy to check that there is no single developer response for many of them. Poorly implemented application indicator support of IBus has caused problem since the introduction of Unity in 11.04. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/875435 The problem is a blocking one. Since missing indicator means everything is gone. IBus upstream is working on 1.5 branch which removed and changed some feature to accommodate GNOME Shell. So what about Unity? Do we follow the IBus 1.5 path? Or we fork and maintain IBus 1.4? Or even more radical, find a new input framework? -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
