Comment # 3 on bug 1173924 from Ervin Dine

At first I could switch to it, the ibus icon would show the anthy icon but it
would do nothing. After a restart of the system it would not even switch to
it's icon. 
The other bug with ibus was that I could not use it on all applications. So I
switched to fcitx and completely uninstalled ibus. For testing purposes I
installed it again, restarted the system, quit fcitx, started ibus and this
time ibus did not work at all. That's all I did. Ibus also would close if I
closed the preferences window, after installing it the second time. Fcitx is
working well but ibus is much more practical, it requires less user input to
activate, easier to switch languages and more predictable.
