app-i18n/imsettings

Homepage: https://tagoh.bitbucket.io/imsettings
Description: Delivery framework for general Input Method configuration

Beware: the mere fact of installing this package, even without using it, may silently break your input method installation. The user may not be aware that installing this package adds a script /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/90-xinput which runs every time a new X session is started, and which invalidates the user input method configuration.

Bug 650348 - app-i18n/imsettings-1.7.2 breaks app-i18n/ibus, app-i18n/fcitx, etc.

dev-qt/qtgui

For Qt5, the 'ibus' USE flag enables the ibus input system.
For Qt4, install app-i18n/ibus-qt instead.

Qt5

To enable the ibus input method within Qt5 applications, install dev-qt/qtgui with the 'ibus' USE flag instead.

Ibus: Chinese input not working in specific applications

Ibus / Chinese input not working in specific applications

KDE applications

Requirements for ibus to work within KDE applications:

- The package ibus-qt should be installed.

- The package ibus-qt should be built against the proper qt library. This is relevant in distributions (like gentoo) which may ship with several qt libraries installed (e.g. qt4 and qt5). ibus-qt will only work within applications built for the same libraries as itself.
In gentoo:
For Qt4 applications, install: app-i18n/ibus-qt.
