I see.
Many Japanese users dislike IBus 1.5. Some Japanese users say it is 
a crap. Of course I don't think so.
Such users switch to Fcitx or uim which is default input method
on Debian.
Fcitx(fcitx and fcitx-mozc) is well-worked, well-translated
for Japanese users.
IBus 1.5 is not bad. But I found some issues.
If these problems will be fixed, IBus 1.5 will make better than now 
hopefully.

Thanks,
