Comment 6 for bug 1007423

OK this is weird.
All the above still holds true (I didn't change any other settings)

I stopped running scim.
Then I booted into a Xubuntu (XFCE) session, worked in it for a couple of days. (Interesting to note metacity kept trying to replace xfwm4 and X restarted like every 2 hours, xfwm4 had trouble --replacing metacity).

I rebooted into Kubuntu (KDE). Viola, ibus now works.
ヤッター!
Works in: firefox, konsole, libre writer/calc, kate (using anthy, also individual input settings for each application).

Did this get fixed with an update or something? Are people still experiencing the bug?
