[Bug 1551283] Re: "Region & Language" settings should allow you to set keyboard input method system

default to IBus in Ubuntu GNOME.

Hi, I've tested the packages from the PPA under Xenial's gnome-flashback, and now I got ibus running by default.
And it again breaks keyboard layout switching with the default Win+Space, so I can't type in Greek (LP: #1481025).

Why can't im-config default to ibus in locales that need it, and to None in locales that don't need it, as it did in previous Ubuntu releases?
Apart from the serious problems that it's causing, it's also wasting a lot of MB RAM per user, which is completely unacceptable for multi-user systems like LTSP.

Bug description:
  In the gnome-language-selector one is able to set the "Keyboard input
  method system". For instance on my system I can either set it to
  "none", "IBus", or "fcitx". However there is no such option in the
  gnome-control-center's Region & Language section, though I think that
  there should be.
