Description Mike FABIAN 2013-02-19 06:05:37 UTC 
Version: ibus-m17n-1.3.4-6.fc18

Most ibus-m17n engines currently switch to US keyboard layout when
selected.

This is not nice for most engines. For example, when using latn-post,
latn-pre, da-post, ....  there is no need to switch to the US keyboard
layout. One can use these with any keyboard layout one likes.

For example, maybe I use the German keyboard layout because I mainly
type German but want to use latn-post, da-post, ... to input other
European languages like Danish, I do not want to switch to the US
Keyboard layout when selecting such an input method, they work just
fine with the German keyboard layout already selected.

Therefore, most ibus-m17n engines should not switch the keyboard layout
at all when selected.

This is similar to bug#910959.

I have tested on f18 with a package built with the above edited patch,
it works, it does not change the keyboard layout anymore.
