[Pkg-ime-devel] Bug#747375: ibus-daemon does not start - no engine set and has no icon and cannot be run from command line

[Dean Chia 贾定]

I use Gnome3 - the standard that comes with Debian Sid.

The ibus icon is now showing up in my gnome-task-panel on top. My engine is
now registered as m17n:zh:py. Unfortunately, it still cannot type Chinese.
And when I restarted my computer and did ibus-setup to start ibus-daemon
(still no icon in Gnome Shell), it turned on ibus but than that replaced my
normal keyboard input switches (I use US-Dvorak International, TIRO Hebrew,
and Greek), so I had to re-activate them by removing and re-adding a
keyboard back in System Settings --> Keyboard.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling ibus-pinyin as well as
ibus-googlepinyin. However, it seems that there is no engine that drives my
Chinese. All I get is more English.
