Description of problem:

First off, this is far beyond my level of understanding. I try to explain in an
understandable way:

I use a JP　notebook with a en_US OS. I usually type in English. Because I　need
to type French, I have set a Canadian French layout keyboard using a setxbmap
command. When I push right "Ctrl+Shift" keys, the layout switch. All is fine.

Now, when I rely on ibus to input Japanese and french, switching from one
language input to another (Alt+Shift), the Canadian-keyboard layout is not
complete. Many of the keys are not mapped to the correct character.

e.g. the "[" and "]" char: I can type them using ibus (japanese-anthy) or/and
when I switch layout using the setxbmpa command (ibus off).　But I cannot type 
them with ibus set to French-Canadian input.

I am not positive, but it appears only the basic keys (a-z, dead keys and usage
signs) are correctly mapped on the fr_ca layout in ibus, andnot the full
layout. Is this possible?

To sum up:

When I switch from "default US" to "fr_ca" (ibus is not in action), the "[" and
"]" char are mapped to a different keys on the keyboard, but they are
available.

Using ibus:

When I turn ibus on to input "jp", the same char "[" and "]" are still mapped
on the same keys-all fine. If I switch to ibus "fr_ca" input, the "[" and "]"
char are not mapped to anything on my keyboard. I　have the same problem with
several other keys not mapped to anything, or incorrectly mapped, on the
Canadian-French layout

My apology if my explanation is not very clear. Or if I am doing something
wrong (e.g. user mistake, or misunderstanding). 

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

F-15 LXDE
IBus 1.3.99.20110908 (Japanese-anthy & Fr_ca inputs)


How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set ibus with JP & Canadian input - add French-Canadian keyboard in advance
pref (on a non Canadian keyboard)
2. Switch from JP to Fr_Ca, using Alt+Shift
3. Try the correspondent keys to a default Canadian keyboard, "[", "{", "]",
"{", etc. most of them are not available, and some other key are changed,eg.
">" instead of the expected "}" 

Actual results:

using ibus and switching to the Canadian-French layout is incomplete on my
system.

Expected results:


full layout change, using ibus with "fr_ca" (what setxbmap command does when I
need to input French, and when the input method is switched off)
