           Summary: ibus requires Gnome or KDE
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 14
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: medium
          Priority: low
         Component: ibus
        AssignedTo: tfujiwar at redhat.com

    Classification: Fedora


Description of problem:
If doing a minimal installation and adding X afterwards, without adding a
Desktop environment, ibus fails to work. 


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



How reproducible:



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Do minimal installation
2.Install X afterwards, then a window manager, vs. a desktop environmentthen
install ibus-anthy
3.Start X and run ibus-setup

Actual results:

After one selects the input manager, the setting doesn't hold.  If one re-runs
ibus-setup, there is no manager selected. 


Expected results:
ibus should work without the necessity of installing Gnome or KDE.  (Or
possibly other Desktop Environments).  


Additional info:
Installing kdebase will enable it to work as expected.  This is a package
problem with RH--the same issue occurs in ScientificLinux 6 alpha and therefore
RH6 almost certainly has the same problem.  

The reason I believe that this is a RH bug, rather than ibus bug is that it
works as expected in ArchLinux--their packaging apparently includes all
necessary dependencies.   By doing things such as installing gnome-terminal,
which will pull in another group of dependencies, one can get it to
semi-work--that is, it will work with some expected applications but not
others.   As mentioned, if I install kdebase, everything will work as it
should.
