ibus lack of icon in systray none

Description gcarter 2011-11-12 22:29:09 UTC 
Description of problem:  KDE 4.7.2 ibus with installed simpliedfied-chinese-support group is broken.   Was working fine with Fedora 15.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ibus 1.4.0


How reproducible:
select ibus-setup from the menu, and it seems to startup wonky.

If I run it from the command line, it at least displays its icon in the system try.   If I run it from the systems settings menu it doesn't display its icon.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. login, select input method from KDE menu
2. Starts the input method ibus-setup program.
3. doesn't display its icon in the icon tray.  Try using it with pinyin input, and CTRL SPACE works sporactally.  Mostly never.)
  
Actual results:
Doesn't work.


Expected results:
Should display pinyin characters to pick from when CTRL-SPACE is selected.

Additional info:
KDE 4.7.2 Fedora 16 fresh install.

Installed simplified chinese support group, which is bizarre as it isn't listed in grouplist, but is found in the documentation.

Then installed ibus-pinyin.

Worked fine in Fedora 15.

I don't understand what is your problem.

Which do you mean, you installed ibus-pinyin by manual? or the Fedora installer installed ibus-pinyin with chinese support group?

Can you attach the screenshot in this bugreport?
% gnome-screenshot --delay 10

Do you have ibus-pinyin rpm?

Did you log into the KDE session with zh_CN.UTF-8 locale? You could change the user locale with 'systemsettings' command.
% locale

Did you disable 'Customize active input methods' check button in 'Input Method' tab on ibus-setup GUI?

ibus lack of icon in systray

Notice the blank spot next to the scissors...normally should have the ibus icon there.

Can only get it too show up if I exit and start it up from the command line.

OK, I think you cannot show ibus icon when ibus is launched at xdg auto (KDE start time) but you can show the icon when you restart the ibus-daemon.

It's a KDE issue.
