Title:
  ibus does not install itself as an option for the all_ALL quasi-locale

Status in “im-config” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ibus

  Upon installation, ibus installs itself as a choice for several
  locales (xinput-lang_LANG alternatives), including ja_JP and ko_KR.
  This allows for use of the im-switch tool to change what input method
  to use for that locale.

  It does not install itself as an option for the all_ALL quasi-locale,
  or more specifically, the xinput-all_ALL alternative. This makes it
  impossible to use im-switch to set my system-wide default to ibus. I
  run Kubuntu 10.04 with an English language setting and a Swedish
  locale. This behavior is present in Karmic as well.

      $ sudo im-switch -c
      No system wide default defined just for locale en_US .
      Use "all_ALL" quasi-locale and set IM.
      System wide default for all_ALL locale is marked with [+].
      There are 7 choices for the alternative xinput-all_ALL (providing /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/all_ALL).

      Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection

  As workarounds go, it is possible to modify the alternative
  configuration file (/var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/xinput-all_ALL) to
  include ibus, or to manually repoint the symlink at /etc/alternatives
  /xinput-all_ALL. I can also overwrite /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/default
  with the contents of the ibus file in the same directory.

  Looking at the source, all_ALL is commented out at
  debian/ibus.postinst:12. Excerpt;

      case "$1" in
          configure)
              #ua_inst all_ALL ibus  0
              ua_inst ja_JP   ibus 60
              ua_inst ko_KR   ibus 60
      [...]

  Unsure of the rationale of why it would be disabled that way. Both UIM
  and SCIM install themselves as choices to all_ALL, so installation of
  those methods is very easy.
