Hi all, I have to raise this up once again. A memory leak has been found in lucid https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/583954 Jonathan Riddell approached me yesterday, discussed a SRU, I'd prefer we can SRU the whole ibus and related IME, which can provide end users better UX, especially lucid is a LTS release.
