[Pkg-ime-devel] Bug#693516: ibus: language bar does not work with multiple monitors

Package: ibus
Version: 1.4.1-8

Justification: breaks unrelated software

language bar does not work with multiple monitors

Without language bar under ibus, it makes all keyboard imnput prectically
impossible under some conditions.  So very bad for any program waiting
for input.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. boot in TwinView mode
2. enable an IME using keyboard
3. language bar does not appear
4. disable external monitor using Nvidia utility
5. language bar now appears
6. re-enable TwinView
7. language bar still works
8. restart Ibus
9. language bar no longer appears

This was reported to FEDORA and UBUNTU.  Debian should be affected and
need fix.
