Did you restart your desktop? Or did update other components? I can not reproduce it on my box with kwalletmanager, or screen saver. Yes, fedora-updates sent down some other stuff including a kernel. I rebooted into the new kernel and it still does this. The password fields work if I kill all ibus* processes. After the next time I start ibus the password fields break again.

I am using a pretty standard install from fedora/rpmfusion. I think the only package I have from outside those repositories is some truetype fonts.
I am using im-chooser to enable ibus. I assume it generated .xinputrc, which looks like:
XIM=ibus
XIM_PROGRAM="/usr/bin/ibus-daemon"
ICON="/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/ibus.svg"
XIM_ARGS="--xim"
PREFERENCE_PROGRAM=/usr/bin/ibus-setup
SHORT_DESC="IBus"
GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
if test -f /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/inputmethods/libqtim-ibus.so || \
test -f /usr/lib64/qt4/plugins/inputmethods/libqtim-ibus.so;
then
QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
fi
It appears that this is due to KDE being broken when the "three bullets for each letter" option is enabled for password fields. I guess ibus-qt was just not exposing that flaw as badly before and now it's totally broken by it. Changing the option to one bullet for each password letter removes this issue entirely. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=186724 What is 'three bullets for each letter'? How to enable this option? 1. Open systemsettings. 2. Under the "General" tab, under the "Personal" heading, click "About Me." 3. On the first page "Password & User Account" of this settings module, at the bottom there are the following choices for "At Password Prompt": - Show one bullet for each letter <-- this one works - Show three bullets for each letter <-- this one is now totally broken - Show nothing Looks like a KDE bug though, probably not much to do with ibus other than being exposed by it. Please try the scratch build. I think it could fix your problem. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1872628 ibus-qt-1.2.0.20091216-1.fc12,ibus-1.2.0.20091215-1.fc12 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 12. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/ibus-qt-1.2.0.20091216-1.fc12,ibus-1.2.0.20091215-1.fc12 Yup, KDE still consumes 100% CPU and is slow to respond, but the scratch build allows keystrokes to work as they did before. Thanks! ibus-1.2.0.20091215-1.fc12, ibus-qt-1.2.0.20091217-1.fc12 has been pushed to the Fedora 12 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update ibus ibus-qt'.
