We are considering having ibus-daemon autostart for everyone, probably

Does this imply that ibus-daemon will be running for users who have no need
of its input methods?   This doesn't sound like a good idea to me.  We
should be using upstart to *reduce* the number of persistent services
running when they don't need to, by only starting them in cases / for
contexts where they will really be used.

I basically agree with Steve. But maybe we could add an installation checkbox option in the installer, something among the lines of: "Enable IBus input methods on autostart for all users"? We could give some nice explanation there on why this could be important for asian-language users etc. Maybe even have the checkbox checked by default when the user selects specific languages that might need it.

Best regards,
