[opensuse-factory] IBus icon after update to TW 20171023
As already reported on the opensuse mailing list (https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2017-10/msg00486.html) TW 20171023 brought an ibus icon in the system tray. Is this on purpose? Bug or feature?

Its far from obvious. Indeed, badly named for being helpful. "ibus" = keyboard????? I thought it was some upgrade/replacement for D-BUS initially

Its not that 'narrowminded' It is a general input method interface and can do other things than just keyboards.... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

As already discussed in the thread about "Login Manager changed from KDM to SDDM", this is a side-effect of dropping libreoffice-kde4 and installing libreoffice-gnome on KDE/Plasma by default as well. (ibus supplements libreoffice-gnome) You can still uninstall it if you prefer (ibus, not libibus which is needed since a long time already but doesn't really matter here). You probably should lock/taboo it though or it might get pulled in again when installing updates.
