Comment 35 for bug 840823

I have a patched iBus 1.4.0, as described in #25 above. Running gnome-shell. Ubuntu system up-to-date (3.0.0-15-generic-pae).

Yesterday and today, on my desktop that I thought was stable, I have this problem situation:

When I type in TeXStudio, iBus gives me the garbled input. TeXstudio is compiled with QT, if that's relevant.

When, in the same login session on the same machine, I type into Gedit or a terminal, iBus text entry is fine.

I've just tried having TeXstudio and Gedit open at the same time, and I still have the different behaviours: in TeXStudio on the left of my screen, iBus text entry is garbled, in Gedit on the right, iBus text entry is fine.

I've tried both with and without the iBus option "share the same input method among all applications." Makes no difference.

okay, here's a possible clue: I open a terminal session. iBus entry is fine. From the command line, I start texstudio, and then in TeXstudio, iBus entry is fine!

So iBus text entry in TeXstudio (but not gedit) goes wrong only when I start it from a gnome launch icon. If I start it from the command line, all is fine.

Damn this problem!
