There is good intro and work to dbus from Timoty, I was looking at it when trying to estimate effort to do something for TDE native bluetooth support. Unfort. no time at all for such exercise ATM. It could have though larger impact on components, because dbus is not the native method for communication in TDE. There might be some kind of work around - I don't know - Sorry. Perhaps open an enhancement request at http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/ so that one of the main developers can do an estimate and can be tracked. regards

Reading the description of IBus, I think it might not work in TDE unless there is some work around as it uses dbus and other tools that are not integrated in TDE. When I select Chinese keyboard, I see "setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout cn,us". I guess it would work if I had the required packages installed, but nothing worked.

Jimmy Johnson wrote: this does not mean anything regarding the OPs question. TDE is using dbus in very limited fashion, so my bet is, that it is not relevant to the input methods at all, while ibus seems to be using dbus extensively. it might be that GTK or KDE4 by having dbus integrated, may work also with ibus regards

My understanding so far was that this is toolkit-dependent (GTK2/GTK3/Qt3/Qt4) and independent of DBus. In other words, there needs to be a library that would provide Qt3 support for IBus. Thanks for replies everyone. I take it that the problem cant be solved without writing a library for this.

With its help, an incoming msg, being written to /var/mail/$usr by procmail, is available for me to take action in kmail appriximately .25 seconds after procmail has closed the file. Losing dbus would multiply the needed mouse clicks by 2 or more, and add me as a variable delay to its visibility in kmail. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

(I'll let you work out the numbers on that riddle.) I grew up in Amish country. They were our neighbors, and we always saw their horse-drawn carts on the roads, and even were on passing friendly terms with some Amish families. It is probably due to my exposure to the Amish people who lived in the next valley that I got interested in history of religion, anthropology, and that sort of thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumspringa documentary about Rumspringa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-qD9XMwxDo (This link works for me; there were others that didn't work.) Actually, the elders of each Amish community decide separately what technology they will allow to be used. They often run shops to sell their food and crafts to outsiders ("the English"), and in those shops they have electricity, computers, and accept all major credit cards. In their homes and communities, however, they have none of that, and still live like it is the eighteenth century, when their founder, Jakob Amman, declared that time ought to be stopped. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakob_Amman Back to topic: I don't much like systemd, as it seems to mess with how my system runs, especially when I try to restart. I am not anti-dbus, although I would like to know more about why the Devuan Amish community don't like it. If anybody has any insights into this matter, I am all ears. Bill

In one of the links, i saw some one saying that ibus worked in trinity. It was in 14.04? I think there was some big changes in ibus a few years back. Maybe it broke at that point? maybe you can test this with a 14.04 live cd, still supported until 2019 then the devs could bundle it as ibus-trinity i think not having an input method is a big flaw.....

Spot on! I removed exports for GTK_IM_MODULE, QT_IM_MODULE and XIM_PROGRAM from my .bashrc and now I can use IBus in TDE applications. I owe you.
