[Bug 1425510] Re: Default IM configuration causes hangs

 

@Cefn,
I'm curious you have installed ibus-gtk and ibus-gtk3 or not. Because you installed gtk2 app(e.g. inkscape) on Lubuntu. FWIW, Ubuntu has dependency to ibus-gtk and ibus-gtk3 by default because it's has gtk2 and gtk3 apps in the image.

Title:
  Default IM configuration causes hangs

Status in im-config package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Certain applications have associated input hangs, where no key input
  events can be sent which sometimes clear after some time, and in at
  least one case (Inkscape), this is eliminated by running from
  Start->Run as follows, hence overriding the declaration of
  GTK_IM_MODULE in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70im-config_launch , distributed
  in im-config...

  bash -c "unset GTK_IM_MODULE && inkscape"

  A permanent fix on my machine could be to modify the 70im-
  config_launch file, or declare an overriding export in some later .rc
  file. Anyone know where I should make this declaration if not
  modifying package-maintained files?

  An alternative solution could be to install scim-gtk-immodule and
  run...

  bash -c "export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim && inkscape"

  Similar behaviours are experienced with Kupfer - minutes of hang with
  apparently no input events being passed, followed by (sometimes)
  unfreezing.

  I'm running Lubuntu Utopic with LXDE and Compiz (minimal dependencies
  on GTK), so it's feasible that some component is not properly declared
  in a dependent package.  I can't find whether there is in fact a xim
  module available and running anywhere on my system. How can I check?

  Other input issues relating to out-of-order key event delivery to
  Chrome-based applications are experienced on the same build, but I
  think this may be an independent bug, ostensibly resolved by declaring
  IBUS_SYNC_MODE=1
  https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=456766 but thought
  I should mention as it's kind of in the same subsystem and may be
  linked.

  I speculate that there is some missing dependency or bad configuration
  in the default presentation of IM capabilities, which eventually
  causes a DBUS timeout or similar, eventually causing a fallback
  without any international input, but which is functional.
