ibus should be recommends only and not in depends

[Vince Zhao]

There are multiple reasons for ibus to be removed from depends (it's already in recommends)
* not all users require use input method
* most Chinese users prefer use fcitx instead of ibus
* ibus causes problems sometime if installed along with fcitx
* ibus break keyboard input on remote X/NX sessions from OSX's Xquartz

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The issue is that the ibus gsettings schemas is used in the code which creates a depends. If somebody wants to work on making the code more flexible, and handle ibus not being installed, we would be happy to take those changes and lower the depends to a recommends

I want to say that my problem with IBus started from keyboard input crashes in Google Chrome

After I have deleted IBus, Ubuntu Settings was replaced to gnome-control-center which has bug with transparent background in all its settings. I have Ubuntu 14.10, and gnome-control-center windows look ugly:

I want to install unity-control-center back but it requires IBus witch will make my keyboard input fail in Chrome.

While you are at it, the description of the packages libunity-control-center1 and unity-control-center reads:
  utilities to configure the GNOME desktop
and should be
  utilities to configure Unity
or something more appropriate.
