I have the same problem.

If I launch a Java application I can switch the input method to Anthy or
Latex, but I have no accented characters, nor can get any character if I
type <dead key>+<space>  -- it seems that dead key are completed
ignored.

If I launch the Java application as "XMODIFIERS='' <java-app-name>",
than the dead key work as expected, but I can not switch the input
method (so I can't use Anthy or Latex input methods). This is very
frustrating since I have to type text in Portuguese, Japanese and
English.

BTW. The problem also happens with Sun Java Virtual Machine 1.6.20.

Bug description:
Using latest Lucid packages, I am unable to use ^ key to generate ê french character in every Java programs (jEdit, Netbeans, etc.).

Typing ^ + e give just the e character.
Typing ^ + Space and nothing appears.

I've tried with Sun JDK (6u18, 6u20, 7) and the bug is still present.

I've tried to remove ibus and everything works again (I've just unset XMODIFIERS and GTK_IM_MODULE).

I don't know if it's an ibus bug or openjdk one.
