Title:
  regression: ibus ignores keyboard layout

Status in ibus package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The recent update of unity packages introduced a bad regression for
  ibus users.  I assume the fault lies with unity since ibus hasn't been
  updated for several weeks and my machine was fine until about two days
  ago around which time some unity updates rolled in.

  I have a German keyboard layout (QWERTZ not QWERTY as in the US case).
  I use anthy and mozc for Japanese input.  Since two days ago the
  default layout with the Japanese IME are a US layout throwing me off
  when blind-typing.  To look into the matter, I opened ibus-setup and
  there are three Input methods listed there: English - English (US),
  Japanese - Anthy and Japanese -Mozc.  German was conspicuously absent
  .  I eventually managed to add a German layout to it and delete the US
  layout.  I then restart ibus with "ibus restart" only to find the US
  keyboard layout not only back but it's default again.  Argh!  In other
  words, the explicit choice I'm trying to force doesn't stick.

  There are four keyboard layouts currently defined in "System Settings
  - Text Entry - Input sources to use", none of them have anything to do
  with a US-layout; de1, de2, anthy and mozc.  I cycle through them via
  Super+Space.  Anthy is set to use the system default layout.  The
  regression is that it currently inists on US layout with no way to
  even override this silly choice.
