it's the second time I read this recommendation along your answers, but --
unless to be wrong -- Fedora ibus repos is up to date (I use the f-repo to
update ibus)

So, here, it looks like there is a problem. When I set with the setxbmap
command a "fr_ca", I have got the full layout (including the R-Alt key mapped
keys).

When I use ibus, the right Alt key is not mapped to anything, and all the
right-Alt key combo of the he "fr_ca" keyboard layout are not available.

I enclose 2 print-screens for more clarity:

1. in clear, the "fr_ca" keyboard layout (red=Shift key/ blue=right Alt key).
That's what I've got when I use the setxbmap command

2. same layout with "error stamp marks". that's the "layout" I've got when I
use i-bus "fr_ca". All the R-Alt key combo are not mapped (at least on my
system).

To complicate even more the situation, there is no right ALT key on the
Japanese keyboard notebooks, but I use a JP usb keyboard which has a right Alt
key, and - as stated above - the right Alt key is correctly mapped when I
switch to "fr_ca" using the setxbmap command, but it is not when I use ibus.
