Title:
  system keyboad layout setting has no effect

Status in “ibus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Reproduce:

  1. The Ubuntu system default keyboad layout configure to Generic 105-key (Intl) PC
  this can be done with

  $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

  You can verify if the setting is in effect by typing AltGr + e and you
  should key in 'é'. You should be able to get this behaviour even in
  the console (Ctrl+Alt+F1).

  (The Alt key right to the space bar, even if it is just labeled Alt,
  it is AltGr in effect)

  2. run ibus-setup and check the checkbox "Use System Keyboard", it is
  on the last tab.

  3. reboot and login, and type AltGr + e, you just get plain e, not 'é'
  and you don't get 'é' even if you have switched away from input method
  (typically by tapping left shift key a single time.)

  Expected:

  3. once the setting is in effect, AltGr + e should produce 'é' when
  i-bus is active.

  Workaround:

  Not any workaround found. I tried to load a "Generic 105-key (Intl)
  PC" layout with /usr/bin/xmodmap, and this method works when I am not
  in Gnome (in fluxbox) and ibus is not activated, but it has no effect
  when ibus is activate.

  Why this issue is important:

  For example, a German who can do Chinese would naturally wish to use
  his familiar German keyboard layout without havin to switch off ibus-
  table. So does every user of non-English keyboard layout.
