The fact that input method can crash applications is just normal, IMO. Because they are deeply coupled, OSX and Windows works in similar way AFAIK. If you want to more details, please use IBus upstream's channels. http://code.google.com/p/ibus/ Some interesting upstream people is not here.
ibus-daemon is like a server. How many programs can reliably use a service that halts? im-switch is deprecated in Debian (Wheezy) but not in Ubuntu AFAIK. language-selector is still using im-switch Don't complain if im-config is not working on Ubuntu. You are not supposed to use it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ibus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/997620 Title: predictable way to crash other apps via ibus Status in “ibus” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I can reliably crash third-party apps the following way on an up-to- date lucid system. 1) start ibus-daemon on the command-line 2) start third-party app 3) toggle input via ibus 4) Ctrl-Z on ibus to put it in the background All apps using ibus will essentially lock up at this stage. Typing "bg" to keep ibus running in the background is not possible. You have to switch to the virtual terminal for that where a "killall -s CONT ibus-daemon" will allow you to regain control of your X session. But all apps using ibus at that stage will crash a few seconds later and have to be restarted.
