However, they are not available in beta 1 until users manually add them by using GNOME control center. It is intended that users should configure input source at the first login by gnome-initial-setup introduced by GNOME 3.8. However, gnome-initial-setup is not integraged into openSUSE 13.1. Note that gnome-initial-setup also configure conversion engines such as ibus-anthy and ibus-pinyin, which are essential components for CJK users, but they are automatically configured according to the current $LANG value without gnome-initial-setup. This is because openSUE 13.1 beta 1 initializes unnecessary application called ibus-ui-gtk3, which automatically configure ibus engines for DEs except for GNOME. This problem seems to be not serious for CJK users so far, but I do not know this problem can be ignored for 13.1. I guess this problem affects users of keyboard layouts such as Arabic keyboard, which require xkb engines to input latin characters. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.
