Title:
ibus won't turn 'on' when in certain programs

Bug description:
What I expect to happen: I can turn on and change and use input
methods in ibus in any program.
What really happens:
When in gedit, ibus turns on fine and I can input in Japanese (anthy) and
other languages e.g. Chinese pinyin.
However, when using firefox, I can't get the input method to change to anthy
or any other from "Input method Off" using my shortcut keys (Ctrl+Space).
If I manually right click ibus icon in the tray and left click the
input method (e.g. anthy), the first time, the bullet point changes to
anthy AND "Input method Off", the second time it will change
completely to anthy but sometimes it stays at "Input method Off". Even
if the bullet point changes to anthy, I am not able to input in anthy
at all.
The first time I turned ibus 'on' to anthy in EiskaltDC++ it worked, however
the following times it didn't work at all.
When I restart ibus, and try to switch to anthy or another input using
right-click on the ibus icon, I only see "No input window" where there should
be input methods. However, when I switch to kate/gedit, I am able to use any
other input method, and can switch input methods using keyboard shortcut or GUI
click menu.
After switching to another input method (e.g. anthy), I am able to switch to
other input methods in apps that I can't use other input methods in (e.g.
firefox) via the GUI click menu (but not keyboard shortcut).
If I check "Share the same input method among all applications":
-- and switch to anthy (or any other input method besides "Input method Off")
in gedit, I am able to type using anthy in gedit, but when I switch programs to
firefox for example, it won't work. I can see the anthy logo in the tray icon,
and also in the anthy menu, but all the switch "input mode" "typing mode"
"conversion mode" "dictionary" buttons will have disappeared, and only the
anthy logo button (change ibus input) and "About the input method" button
remain.
-- I can't change the input method (using keyboard shortcut orc GUI click
menu) in any application I can't type using other input methods.
-- I can also no longer change input methods using the GUI click menu, but
must use my shortcut (Alt-Shift_L), even in applications that I can input
non-english in (i.e. gedit/kate).
Sometimes the GUI click menu displaying input methods with current
input method bullet pointed doesn't display correctly, even in apps
that I can input non-english in (gedit/kate). I must right-click the
tray icon again for it to refresh and display properly. For example,
if I switch using the keyboard shortcut, the input method will have
changed but the bullet point will still be on the previous input
method, unless I right click the tray icon again.
To 'input' other languages into firefox (or any other program), I must
first type in gedit or kate and then copy the text over to firefox. I
can't even type non-english languages in LibreOffice Writer!
