Ooh, that's very interesting. It never worked for me and IBus doesn't
either, so after I found the Elisp packages mentioned in the other
mail, I just thought that it simply doesn't work OOTB. Nice to hear it
actually does (for someone).

So do I (or rather, Debian does, I just don't have to care), but I don't
really see why that should matter -- the basic experience is "it Just
Works in any app except for Emacs".
