In fact, ibus itself does not seem to be working at all. How can I verify that ibus is working on its own? I've tried installing ibus by itself into my profile. When I do this, I can run ibus-setup, and I see a "Japanese" language input option. This is true even when anthy and ibus-anthy are not installed, which surprised me. I had expected to find no Japanese language input options at all in ibus-setup when anthy and ibus-anthy are not installed. In GNOME, there is no ibus menu visible anywhere on my screen, so it is unclear whether ibus is actually working. When I open Gedit and press +Space, my input method does not seem to change. According to ibus-setup, this hotkey should change my input method. However, it seems like ibus is just not working at all. -- Chris
