Description of problem: When IBus is enabled, there are problems with inputting text via ssh to gnome applications such as epiphany/gedit. Steps to Reproduce: 0) Enable IBus 1) Enable SSH server so that you can SSH to your system 2) ssh -Y or ssh -X into your system 3) Open epiphany or gedit 4) Enter text Actual results: * text does not appear in the application Expected results: * text appears in the application Additional info: (gedit:20828): IBUS-WARNING **: Events queue growing too big, will start to drop.
ibus is based on dbus and it does not support client-server connection. So you need to run ibus-daemon in the server side. # ssh -Y server server% ibus-daemon --xim & server% env GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus gedit
BTW, the problem is that English text is not appearing. And you can verify this by using your own desktop system, enabling ssh server and logging into your own account on the same system.
This seems to be a regression - when one tries to test this with recent ibus one sees many warnings like: (gedit:20828): IBUS-WARNING **: Events queue growing too big, will start to drop. This happens at least with ibus-1.5.2-8.fc19.x86_64 and later, but not with ibus-1.5.1-2.fc18.

I cannot reproduce your problem. Did you see any errors with strace gedit?
It is pretty easy to reproduce: 1. boot F19-x86_64-DESK-20130806.iso (F19 respin) 2. setup ibus 3. ssh -X localhost gedit 4. try to input ascii directly (and can't) The ibus warnings "Events queue growing too big, will start to drop." suggest something is wrong.
I can also reproduce on my own desktop running current F19. ibus-1.5.2-7.fc19 also seems okay. I forgot a couple of minor starts above: 2.1 su 2.2 systemctl start sshd 2.3 passwd liveuser
OK, if ibus-daemon is running on another display, it can happen. The following is the tentative patch: --- ibus-1.5.3/client/gtk2/ibusimcontext.c.orig +++ ibus-1.5.3/client/gtk2/ibusimcontext.c @@ -740,7 +740,13 @@ ibus_im_context_filter_keypress (GtkIMCo IBusIMContext *ibusimcontext = IBUS_IM_CONTEXT (context); - if (!_daemon_is_running) + /* If ibus-daemon is running and run ssh -X localhost, + * _daemon_is_running == TRUE but ibus_get_address() == NULL + * so IBusBus is not connected and ibusimcontext->ibuscontext == NULL + * and ibusimcontext->events_queue could go beyond MAX_QUEUED_EVENTS + * because hostname and display number are different between + * ibus-daemon and clients. */ + if (!_daemon_is_running || ibus_get_address () == NULL) return gtk_im_context_filter_keypress (ibusimcontext->slave, event); /* If context does not have focus, ibus will process key event in
