Summary: ibus compose file needs a symbol tag for gnome-shell Product: Fedora Version: 16 Platform: Unspecified OS/Version: Unspecified Status: NEW Severity: unspecified Priority: unspecified Component: ibus-rawcode AssignedTo: psatpute@redhat.com ReportedBy: psatpute@redhat.com QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: tagoh@redhat.com, tfujiwar@redhat.com, psatpute@redhat.com, i18n-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, shawn.p.huang@gmail.com, apatil@redhat.com Depends on: 727019,741176 Classification: Fedora Story Points: --- Clone Of: 741176 Type: ---

The latest ibus-gnome3 + gnome-shell can show a special symbol char on ibus status icon by ibus engine. The symbol can be defined in engine's /usr/share/ibus/component/*.xml .
Now ibus-anthy-1.2.6-3 has a symbol char and the similar fix is needed for major ibus engines.
% grep symbol /usr/share/ibus/component/anthy.xml <symbol>あ</symbol>
The following patch is the example: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=ibus-anthy.git;a=blob_plain;f=ibus-a... http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=ibus-hangul.git;a=blob_plain;f=ibus-...
(Note: probably you don't need hotkeys tag since your engine would need Control + Space only for the trigger)

Ping.
Any chance to get this prior to Beta?

Fujiwara i gone through feature you have added it nice. I feel icons are more informative than single characters, so i would like to continue with the icons, might be we can make it little bit smaller and matching with the gnome-shell theme.

Fujiwara i gone through feature you have added it nice. I feel icons are more informative than single characters, so i would like to continue with the icons, might be we can make it little bit smaller and matching with the gnome-shell theme.
However I think the character icon is the policy of gnome-shell: https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Design/Guidelines/SystemStatus/InputLangua...
If you don't add '<symbol>' tag, the default is the two chars from the engine's language. The problem is, if you use input method is 'tamil-99' and keymap is 'Tamil', both icon will be 'ta'. If you think 'tamil-99' is keymap, probably the default language chars are ok. But if it's input method in which you often need to disable the IM status, probably it's better to assign a multi-byte char.
For Fedora 16, gnome-shell-3.1.91-2.fc16, gjs-1.29.17-1.fc16 and ibus-gnome3-1.3.99.20110817-5.fc16 are required. Also gnome-shell disables any extensions by default in Fedora 16 so you need to enable ibus-gnome3 by manual to set gsettings: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_ibus_gnome_shell https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/I18N/InputMethods#GNOME-Shell
Regarding to the icon size, currently I'd think to fix to install ibus-gnome3 instead of using pygtk2 statusicon on gnome-shell.
