Considering Alkis' objections, and since it's late in the cycle, I uploaded less aggressive changes to the PPA.
https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/im-config-gnome The changes make im-config start ibus in Ubuntu GNOME including GNOME Classic, and leave the im-config behavior unchanged for the other desktops. @Alkis: If I understand it correctly, the issue, which you reported in bug #1481025, means that it's not possible in GNOME Flashback (and possibly other desktops) to switch easily between Greek typing and e.g. Chinese typing, while it works in e.g. Unity. That's obviously a bug in GNOME Flashback. IMNSHO that bug should be fixed the right way ASAP, so we can drop this workaround. GNOME Flashback screws currently up IBus in other ways too, but it's being worked on: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/759083 It should be possible to switch between any input sources without any hassle. Anyway, hopefully this latest proposal will make everyone reasonably happy. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1551283 Title: ibus/im-config in Ubuntu GNOME Status in Ubuntu GNOME: New Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu: New Status in im-config package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: In the gnome-language-selector one is able to set the "Keyboard input method system". For instance on my system I can either set it to "none", "IBus", or "fcitx". However there is no such option in the gnome-control-center's Region & Language section, though I think that there should be.
