works fine here
It works fine in Librteoffice, Firefox, but not in KDE applications
i run qtconfig in the tab interface i chose input method ibus (was xim) and now it works
Status: NEW => RESOLVEDResolution: (none) => WORKSFORME
Also i verified that from a new user, before install the ibus on my system, i could nt reproduce the accents problem. I could reproduce it with the new user, only after i switched the localisation (from mcc/localedrake) from French to Greek. After installing ibus i had a problem with the keyboard layout switcher on the system tray of KDE. It was blocked in the English layout and i could nt change the layout with ALT+SHIFT combination as usually. I opened the KDE keyboard settings and after do a fake modification to enable the 'Apply' button, my settings on the system tray was restored. But, after reboot i had the same problem, the ENglish Layout is set without be able to switching So , i tried to set the layout, in ibus-setup or to disable the keyboard layout, without sucess. All settings are not applied/saved I had a such message: (main.py:3256): IBUS-WARNING **: org.freedesktop.IBus.Config.GetValue: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed: Config value [general/hotkey:triggers] does not exist. which i saw also in the bug report: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4604 As a solution,i added in the run command the -s Finaly, i have this in my .bashrc: [...] export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus ibus-daemon -dxrs -d, --daemonize run ibus as background process. -s, --single do not execute panel and config module. -x, --xim execute ibus XIM server. -r, --replace if there is an old ibus-daemon is running, it will be replaced. And now, everything works perfectly. Even after reboot, i dont have the icon on system tray, so i have the KDE layout switcher as i set from kde systemsettings, and i can type French accents ô ë without any problem as the daemon is launched on every boot.
