Description of problem: This happens on in KDE. If you switch to a different input method in an LibreOffice application it will work. However, if you change focus to another window you will lose the ability to use any ibus input method

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fully updated F16 system. KDE 4.8.3-1

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start LibreOffice Writer and use Ctrl-space to toggle to an alternate input method. I used "Intelligent Bopomofo"
2. Enter some characters
3. Move mouse and click on another window, such as Konsole
4. Move back to the LibreOffice Writer window and click

Actual results: The ibus method display on the taskbar shows the keyboard icon and not the Intelligent Bopomofo icon. Mousing over the taskbar ibus icon show "No Input
Window"

Expected results: The LibreOffice window should have retained its input method setting. And, you should be able to toggle between methods with Ctrl-Space.

Additional info: FWIW, this problem does not exist in F17. Yet, ranked this bug as "high" since to do any work in LibreOffice I have to constantly switch between using KDE and GNOME. I also verified the bug on a VirtualBox VM.
