[Bug 475530] Re: KIMPanel is unusable in Kubuntu 9.10

[RK]

I can do:
* log in to KDE
* click away any annoying KDE popup
* open a konsole
* run: ibus-daemon -x -r -d -p /usr/lib/ibus/ibus-ui-kde                                                                                                   
* press ctrl-space and it either works, or the konsole hangs; in the latter case, close the konsole and open a new one

Using these packages:

ii  ibus                                                    1.2.0.20091215-1                                           New input method framework using dbus
ii  ibus-anthy                                              1.2.0.20100115-1                                           anthy engine for IBus
ii  ibus-gtk                                                1.2.0.20091215-1                                           New input method framework using dbus
ii  ibus-m17n                                               1.2.0.20091217-1                                           m17n engine for IBus
ii  ibus-qt4                                                1.2.0.20091217-1                                           qt-immodule for ibus (QT4)
ii  plasma-widget-kimpanel                                  4:4.4.0-0ubuntu1                                           addons for KDE 4 Plasma - universal input me
ii  plasma-widget-kimpanel-backend-ibus                     4:4.4.0-0ubuntu1                                           addons for KDE 4 Plasma - universal input me
(the last two self-compiled from dpkg source as the mirror is not up to date yet)

rk at rk:~> ll .xinput.d/de_DE
lrwxrwxrwx 1 rk rk 28 2010-02-13 22:45 .xinput.d/de_DE -> /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/ibus

and in .bashrc:
export XIM_PROGRAM= 
export XIM_ARGS= 
export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus

I have no idea why it works for me in this combination, why I once had
the the ui duplicated (once from ibus-ui-kde and once from the plasma
widget; maybe because I had it expanded from the panel at the time I
started the other), nor why I can't just use -p  /bin/echo with it. Very
unreliable, this. In particular since it can easily lock up some or all
processes of the session when restarting or stopping the daemon.
