Hi,

Let me recap.  ibus is the input method used by GNOME.  Without it, no
reasonable input for Chinese and Japanese.  GNOME has decided to
integrate ibus 1.5 for GNOME 3.8 as I understand.  FC19 has proved its
nice implementation result.

yes and done as above.  (This is not gnome-shell bug.)

Yes, it fixes the grave crash reported in http://bugs.debian.org/715568
as long as I install patched gnome-settings-daemon and
gnome-control-center packages without --disable-ibus.  Thus I am
requesting Debian GNOME packages to follow the GNOME upstream and FC19
default compile option (= no --disable-ibus) usage and compile with the
new experimental ibus 1.5.3 family of packages.

For gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-control-center, --disable-ibus was
used to make GNOME 3.8 work with the older ibus 1.4 since ibus 1.5 was
not available for Debian yet.  With my recent upload, ibus 1.5.3-1 is
now in experimental.  So no reason to keep this awkward option to break
the newer ibus 1.5.

FYI: I confirm that ibus 1.5 is running in experimental with patched
gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-control-center here.  It works but I
think there are few more patches somewhere to get it work as nice as
FC19 cosmetically.  (Some patches used in FC19 are not reintegrated to
upstream yet.)

So I request both of these to activate ibus as the integrated input
method.

Regards,

Osamu
