I thought I could reproduce this problem before, but I can't now. it works for me. when you open a popup menu through the right click, what does it say which IM is used for Qt?

I cannot figure out which popup menu you want me to check. I'm using
mozc on gnome-shell (ibus-gtk2 ibus-gtk3). Is it still relevant?

mozc-1.1.690.102-0.2.20110419svn.fc15.x86_64

Click "Add" button say, blinking a cursor on the input field, right-click there. you'll see "Select IM" in the pop up menu. please make sure if you have "ibus" selected there.

hmm... I don't see it. There are standard undo/redo/cut/copy/paste/delete/select-all items but nothing else.

Guess you may have only one qt immodule installed then. though it even works with xim though.

I'm not sure if it would helps but can you try installing ibus-qt and re-log into your desktop and input on the dictionary tool?

I have gtk2-immodule-xim installed and that's the only package that
contains "immodule" in its name.

It helped. ibus-qt gives me the missing "Select IM" menu and selecting
'Ibus' enabled japanese input.

It does not stick though -- the IM selection reverts back to "XIM".

That is when the dictionary tool is invoked from the gnome-shell menu.
The selection seem to revert to 'Ibus' if invoked from commandline
("/usr/libexec/mozc_tool --mode=dictionary_tool").

'XIM' does work for me when the dictionary tool is invoked from commandline.

See your $HOME/.imsettings.log. you can find out which immodules are used for Qt.

Changing IM from the menu is instant setting. no wonder it's back to xim.

Does the input work with "ibus" when you bring it up from the menu?

It says 'ibus'.

Yes.

Hm, and XIM is used by default on the dictionary tool anyway? if you have $HOME/.config/Trolltech.conf, try grep DefaultInputMethod $HOME/.config/Trolltech.conf and see what it says.

Yes, when it is invoked from the menu. If invoked from commandline, it
defaults to Ibus.

grep returns none:

$ grep DefaultInputMethod ~/.config/Trolltech.conf 
$

Have you restarted your desktop once you installed ibus-qt? since what Qt immodules are used is determined by QT_IM_MODULE environment variable, it won't happens if you do restart certainly. see strings /proc/<pid>/environ say for the process being brought up from the menu. guess you may not see QT_IM_MODULE=ibus there. then good to check XMODIFIERS too. that may explains why it doesn't work for you. again, even "XIM" works for me.

You are right. I see neither.

But both are present if the tool is invoked with command
"/usr/libexec/mozc_tool --mode=dictionary_tool" either from gnome-terminal
or from run command dialog (alt+F2). (And japanese input works fine.)

how about it in ibus-engine-mozc and ibus-daemon? the environment variables in the child process is inherited from the parent process. if you don't have both, that would means you don't have both in even the parent process though.

Neither has those two environmental variables. And their parent process --
imsettings-daemon -- does not have them too.

Hmm, ok. let me try to fix it. for workaround, it may works after installing imsettings-qt package.
