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?
Well why do you want to kill ibus anyway? The above is what it does, it handles you keyboard layout and input methods so if you kill it of course that will break. ibus is installed by default with the Xfce pattern, if you don't want to use it you can of course deinstall it and set the keyboard layout per-user in the Xfce Keyboard settings or system-wide via the YaST "System Keyboard Layout" module but you will loose input methods. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+owner@opensuse.org
