There have been some discussions on IRC (#ubuntu-desktop) which have clarified the confusion wrt unity-control-center and GNOME Flashback. One part of the solution is that u-c-c should not overwrite an already existing XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP value, and I've filed a MP (linked above) to fix that. Thanks Alkis for pointing at the right spot in the u-c-c source!
The other part is that the u-c-c task at bug #1554878 needs to be fixed. @Dmitry: The result of this is that we keep the current difference between Unity and GNOME Flashback in this cycle, meaning that im-config does not start IBus or set the input method related environment variables by default on GNOME Flashback. This is to work around the problem with Greek typing which Alkis has reported. I have uploaded language-selector and attached an im-config patch. ** Patch added: "im-config_ibus-on-gnome.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-control-center/+bug/1551283/+attachment/4595498/+files/im-config_ibus-on-gnome.patch ** Tags added: patch ** Changed in: language-selector (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-control-center 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: Fix Committed Status in unity-control-center 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.
