Title:
  X IO Error : Using g_idle_add_full inside ibus_im_context_focus_in
  instead of gdk_threads_add_idle_full

Status in “ibus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This is a bug in ibus-gtk2 version 1.4, libray /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
  gnu/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-ibus.so is in Ubuntu 12.04.

  It causes "random" X IO errors , because it is a multithreading bug.

  I reported it already to the ibus project at
   http://code.google.com/p/ibus/issues/detail?id=1505&thanks=1505&ts=1346933625, but it is a show stopper for us so we want a fast fix.

  ibus_im_context_focus_in in ibus/client/gtk2/ibusimcontext.c uses
  g_idle_add_full with a callback that call GDK functions, so it call
  them without the GDK lock.

  It should use instead gdk_threads_add_idle_full to make the callback
  run with a lock.

  Got broken by this commit
  https://github.com/ibus/ibus/commit/279ee5d5b3697b427cc22cd99a55f4e611318e25#client/gtk2/ibusimcontext.c

  Broken in ibus-gtk2 1.4, still ok in 1.3.
