** Description changed:

  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
- but the next time I call ibus-setup the US layout is back as default.
- In other words, the explicit choice I'm trying to force doesn't stick.
+ eventually managed to add a German layout to it and delete the US

  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.
