http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=968486 Bug ID: 968486 Summary: ibus is broken on GTK2 apps on KDE, etc Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: 2015* Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X11 Applications Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: tiwai@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- On recent TW, the invocation of ibus on KDE or other DEs seems broken. The ibus icon doesn't appear on the task bar, and it doesn't work on GTK2 applications like Firefox (while it seems working on GTK3). The culprit is the race of ibus invocation at session start. This has been a long known problem, but some change in other components seems triggering the issue more clearly now. The fix is to delay the invocation of ibus via XDG autostart, as long as the DE supports it. We had a similar problem with fcitx, and it got fixed in that way. For DEs that don't support autostart, just putting some delay before starting ibus daemon should suffice practically. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
