[Pkg-ime-devel] Bug#734985: [ibus] ibus does not respect /etc/default/keyboard XKBOPTIONS

[Omega Weapon]

Package: ibus
Version: 1.5.4-1
Severity: normal

I currently use ibus + mozc to occasionally type in Japanese. Recently 
I've noticed capslock becoming enabled, which was disabled years ago 
through Debian's central keyboard configuration (/etc/default/keyboard):

========================================

XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_switch,caps:none"

========================================

I knocked up a script to check the options every minute and email me 
when something broke them - I finally found that ibus breaks this when 
you switch from Japanese to English (in reality likely anything that 
restores the English input?).

Please can XKBOPTIONS be honoured.

response.

Thanks
