[Bug 1551283] Re: ibus/im-config in Ubuntu GNOME

that ibus isn't running in locales where it's not needed...

I installed Debian Stretch with the Gnome desktop environment and neither im-config nor ibus were installed by default there.
So I cannot report it in Debian, as it does make sense that if someone manually installs ibus, he'd want to have it running by default.

The problem is Ubuntu-specific, that people that don't need ibus have it
installed by default and running anyway.

Nevertheless, since ibus isn't running under gnome-flashback in non-cjkv locales, I'm not affected by that, so I can't complain.
Thanks again Gunnar, much appreciated! :)

About the "XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity" part in gnome-flashback, it's caused by
unity-control-center/shell/control-center.c:
  g_setenv ("XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP", "Unity", TRUE);

  ibus/im-config in Ubuntu GNOME

Bug description:
  In the gnome-language-selector one is able to set the "Keyboard input
  method system". For instance on my system I can either set it to
  "none", "IBus", or "fcitx". However there is no such option in the
  gnome-control-center's Region & Language section, though I think that
  there should be.
