> How can you tell that im-config shouldn't start IBus?

Isn't that why system settings vs user settings exist?

For example, my /etc/default/keyboard reads:
XKBLAYOUT="us,gr"
XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"

Then for example Gnome puts those as the default layouts for my session. That's what 99% of the local users want.
It doesn't automatically include Swedish, Hebrew and all other possible layouts that I might need.
But if some person wants to type in Swedish, he can easily select that on a per-user basis from a menu or a configuration file.

Same for im-config, ibus, fcitx, there can be system defaults, and per user settings (and AFAIK there already are, the problem is that IM_CONFIG_DEFAULT_MODE=auto doesn't process them).
There's no point in millions of users worldwide running ibus without needing it just to avoid reading user settings.


> Did im-switch work differently in this respect? To be honest, I don't remember.

I'm certain that ibus was installed but not started for the Greek locale
in previous Ubuntu versions. I haven't looked into im-switch more than
that though.


After Wily is out (when hopefully I'll have some more free time), I'll install Debian in a VM and report it there as well, and link the bug # here.

I was just hoping to have a quicker fix, in any of the above packages, in time for Wily.
Thank you.

Title:
  Keyboard shortcut for layout switching works in Unity but not in
  Gnome-Flashback

Status in gnome-flashback package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in ibus package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in im-config package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  My keyboard layout is "us,gr", and the new Gnome way to switch between them is by pressing "Super+Space".
  This works fine in:
   * Gnome-Flashback (Metacity) 14.04
   * Unity 14.04
   * Unity 15.10

  It doesn't work in:
   * Gnome-Flashback (Metacity) 15.10

  I've tested with the 15.10 default (Unity) installation, selecting
  Greek language in ubiquity, and adding gnome-flashback after the
  installation.

  Just for reference, here are my related gsettings:
  $ gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.input-sources
  org.gnome.desktop.input-sources show-all-sources false
  org.gnome.desktop.input-sources per-window false
  org.gnome.desktop.input-sources current uint32 1
  org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources [('xkb', 'us'), ('xkb', 'gr')]
  org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options ['grp:alt_shift_toggle', 'grp_led:scroll']
