Summary: ibus-daemon should not fail silently
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: medium
          Priority: low
         Component: ibus
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
         QAContact: [e-mail]
                CC: [e-mail], [e-mail]
   Estimated Hours: 0.0
    Classification: Fedora
    Target Release: ---

ibus-1.1.0.20090423-1.fc11

Currently ibus-daemon can fail to startup under certain circumstances like
socket directory owned by another user.  It currently fails silently, so the
user has no idea why it failed.

ibus-daemon should pop-up and tell the user it failed to start, and why.

ibus-daemon should probably run:
ibus-x11 --fail "fail message here"

What's kind of message should be show to uers? need detail of fail reason?

I have another suggestion, let im-settings to show the error messages to user.
It will benefit scim and other im too.

Well, imsettings is capable to catch up the fail but in this case it won't
grabs so that it happens later. imsettings needs to watch the child status
during it's alive then. aside from that, there are no clients to display the
error so far since applet isn't running by default. I'm not quite sure if
contacting to notification-daemon directly from the dbus service is the right
design.

Anyway, in either cases, what it can says is, "Input Method died unexpectedly.
I don't know why. the error code was blahblahblah. over." we may need any way
to know the detailed human-readable reason for usability.

I think imsetting could log input method's error output in a file, and ask user
to check it.
