Hi, I did some experiments with ibus.
I have a linux machine with ibus installed. When using that machine natively, I can use ibus without any further configuration, except for ibus daemon startup. Applications like gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal, emacs24, google-chrome and chromium work fine ibus. When I access that machine from another Windows computer with "ssh -Y machine" and start ibus daemon with "ibus-daemon&", the following behavior was obeserved. 1. ibus worked fine with gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal and goolge-chrome. 2. ibus didn't work with xterm, emacs24 and chromium. I am extremely crazy about different behavior of ibus with google-chrome and chromium. I think it is a good idea to bring native Windows IME into cygwin/x.
