Description shr 2009-08-24 04:01:55 UTC 
Description of problem:
ibus-chewing would not work with locale zh_TW.Big5 after applied recent updates, the original Fedora 11 will work fine

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ibus-1.1.0.20090612-3.fc11.x86_64
ibus-libs-1.1.0.20090612-3.fc11.x86_64
ibus-gtk-1.1.0.20090612-3.fc11.x86_64
ibus-chewing-1.0.10.20090523-2.fc11.x86_64

How reproducible:
use locale "zh_TW.Big5"

Steps to Reproduce:
1. edit /etc/sysconfig/i18n, set LANG="zh_TW.Big5"
2. restart Xwindow
3. ibus-chewing will not work
  
Actual results:
not work (when switch to chewing, the input window popup then disappear)

Expected results:
work

Additional info:
If somebody needs zh_TW.Big5 environment and ibus-chewing, workaround:

open terminal (In Xwindow)
locale (this is not need, just confirm current locale, zh_TW.Big5 will not work...)
ps auxww | grep \[i\]bus (find ibus process, could not see /usr/libexec/ibus-engine-chewing --ibus with zh_TW.Big5)
kill pid_of_ibus ( kill "/usr/libexec/ibus-x11 --kill-daemon" will kill all )
export LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8
/usr/bin/ibus-daemon --xim &

then it will work fine, you can close this terminal.

ping?
Comment 2 Ding-Yi Chen 2009-09-30 06:19:29 UTC 
There will be an option which offers the choice among "Auto", "Big5", and "UTF8".
Where "Auto" means if the system locale is *.Big5 or *.big-5,
 the system will output big5, otherwise output utf8.

Comment 3 Ding-Yi Chen 2009-10-02 06:40:24 UTC 
After some investigation. I found that internally ibus has to use utf-8. Then again, the ibus input client will do the necessary conversion.
