Summary: Keymap list and default keymap do not change when a language is changed from the login-manager

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=530711

Summary: Keymap list and default keymap do not change when a
                    language is changed from the login-manager
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: i18n
          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: ---

Description of problem:

The list of keymaps displayed in the ibus preferences and the default keymap,
do not change to display the appropriate list and default value (as per the
earlier Fedora versions), when the language is changed from the login-manager.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

ibus-1.2.0.20091014-2.fc12.i686

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora in the system in a language which uses ibus IM.

2. During installation-package selection-language-support, select multiple 
languages which have separate keymaps in ibus e.g. Hindi support, Malayalam
support, Bengali support.

3.Post-installation, log in via the login-manager (e.g. gdm) using the same
language that was used for installation

4. Open a text-editor and trigger the input method.

5. Right-click on the ibus icon and go to the 'Preferences' dialog. The list of
keymaps for the language would be displayed. The default keymap is marked in
bold.

(language selected for this login is: Bengali-India)

6. Log-out and return to the login-manager

7. Select a different language from the list and log-in again.

8. Open a text-editor and trigger the input method.

9. Right-click on the ibus icon and go to the 'Preferences' dialog.

Actual results:

The list of keymaps for the language are not displayed. The keymap list still
displays the keymaps from the earlier login.

http://runab.fedorapeople.org/assorted-bugs/ibus-km2.png

(language selected for this login: Malayalam)
(keymaps displayed: Bengali-India )

Expected results:

If the language-support (that includes the ibus keymap packages) are installed
then the list of keymaps for the logged in language should be displayed in the
keymap list (preferably at the top) and the default keymap identified for the
language should be automatically selected.

http://runab.fedorapeople.org/assorted-bugs/ibus-km3.png

(language selected for this login: Malayalam)
(keymaps displayed here: Malayalam, Bengali India)
(default keymap selected here: Malayalam-inscript)

Additional info:
1. Currently, the keymaps for the language logged in second (in this case
Malayalam) needs to be manually added by the user and the default keymap
selected as well.

Hi Runa,

Ibus just setup keymaps for users at the first time login automatically. After
the first login, ibus will not change the keymap list anymore. If users want to
change it, they have to modify the list by self. So it is not a bug.

Some face-to-face discussion on this.

Various options suggestions made including:

- include new IME
- dialogue confirming change of lang, etc

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning
to the new owner of this component.

Hmm I think it is a smaller thing but would be better
to distinguish between default and user setting.

If you logins in to Japanese and then logs out and
starts a new session in another language with IM default
then it seems more natural to change the default IME
unless the user has changed the IME specifically.

On the other hand imsettings could even disable IM
if one changes desktop locale to one that doesn't use IM say.

Anyway normally users don't change their language frequently
so I think this is a minor annoyance.

Probably I agree with that request.
Changing the synopsis slightly to clear the request.
Probably I think prev-language gconf key could be saved.

Workaround:
Clear gconf key of /desktop/ibus/general/preload_engines by manual and log in
again.

Workaround2:
Invoke ibus-setup and cleanup all listed IM engines.

Then there is one concern.
If users already customize the preloaded engines, probably they won't
initialize the preloaded engines even thought the login language is changed.

Probably I think initializing the preloaded list might not be good. Updating
the list might be good.

We have discussed the implementation of preload engines.
https://github.com/fujiwarat/ibus/commit/8d29b30a2ad09a1e7cf840655e23018d412...

Integrated it into rawhide since probably we reached the good implementation.

There are some thoughts about the feature.
We decided to integrate this feature in f15 if we can get more feedback.

I'll discuss the patch in f16 term again.
