When I have started with openSUSE, I first used KDE, then GNOME and now settled on Xfce, but I'm still busy removing residues from the past... :-) I've noticed ibus icon in the tray and checked processes: $ ps ax | grep ibus 24480 ? Rsl 0:07 ibus-daemon --xim -d 24493 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/lib64/ibus/ibus-dconf 24495 ? Sl 0:01 /usr/lib64/ibus/ibus-ui-gtk3 24499 ? Sl 0:02 /usr/lib64/ibus/ibus-x11 --kill-daemon 24601 ? Rl 0:02 /usr/lib64/ibus/ibus-engine-simple When I tried to kill them all, I noticed that I lost my native (Croatian) characters on the keyboard and the system switched to US layout. When the above processes are running I see that terminal has correct layout. For my locale I'm mixing en_US/hr_HR: $ locale LANG=en_US.utf8 LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 LC_NUMERIC=hr_HR.UTF-8 LC_TIME=hr_HR.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=hr_HR.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=hr_HR.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8" LC_NAME="en_US.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8" LC_ALL= which I set in sysconfig editor. Now I assume (and I'm told in #xfce) that I can freely kill ibus stuff, but wonder what would be required to have proper keyboard layout in Xfce and who is autostarting ibus stuff?
