Description Jason Merrill 2009-03-10 15:37:48 UTC
Description of problem:

When I logged on to the F11 alpha live CD, there was a floating tab on my desktop which seemed to be for selecting the iBus engine.

yum update ibus made it go away, but I got an error "GLib version too old (micro mismatch)"; apparently 2.19.5 isn't enough for ibus-gtk.  Updating glib2 to 2.19.10 seemed to fix that issue.

But now the input method chooser seems to be confused; enabling the input method feature with Preferences/Personal/Input Method doesn't stick, if I open the dialog again the checkbox is still off.  Updating im-chooser didn't affect this issue; the applet in the notification error pops up an error about "mismatch the version of im-settings-daemon, no detailed information"

I haven't updated the whole system, as I don't think I have enough room on the USB stick and yum is failing to update glibc at the moment.  And I don't really care about iBus, just wanted that floater to go away.  Feel free to close this bug if it doesn't have any useful information for you.

Which language are you using?  For non-Asian languages, ibus should not appear normally by default.

This is fixed in rawhide (should be in F11Beta).

That sounds like an imsettings: may have been fixed since, Tagoh-san?

Thanks for your report.

When any API/ABI changes happened, soname is bumped. so it's highly unlikely to ship the different API version of imsettings and im-chooser. so possible idea is old process just keeps running. kill it or restart your desktop and try again.

I'm using English, with Dvorak keyboard layout.

Rebooting does seem to have fixed the im-chooser problem.

Is your installation up to date with rawhide?  Alpha is a bit old now.
If you can try again with Beta (soon) that would be helpful, thanks.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

This all worked fine in the 0331 testday LiveCD.
