[Bug 1573755] Re: Compose and dead keys stopped working with XIM after upgrade to 16.04

The fix suggested by hgrie works for me. ibus-setup is running ibus- daemon, which immediately fixed the issue and lasts until logout. I note that adding 'ibus-daemon --xim' as a startup application is a permanent fix for the issue in my case. -- You received this bug notification because you ar

@Hachmann: Well, I forgot that you are on Linux Mint... At the release of Ubuntu 16.04 "none" meant actually "XIM". It has been changed via updates, so on an updated Ubuntu 16.04 you have both a "none" option (actually setting "none") and a "XIM" option. I suspect that those changes have not been

I upgraded from Trusty to Xenial. Before the upgrade, the compose key was working in all applications, except maybe Torchat (which I hadn't used for months before the upgrade). After the upgrade: *Konqueror works properly when I use the Dvorak layout and the compose key. If, however, I switch to

I can reproduce this XIM problem on a system which was upgraded to 16.04, but not on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04. However: If I create and switch to a new user, the problem is not present.

You can possibly work around this by selecting another input method (IM) with 'im-config' or by removing ~/.xinputrc (which selects the default for your locale) and then reboot (or restart X11—log out & back in is not always enough). The default IM for most languages is 'ibus' which you can config
