Bug Description

The key bindings for ibus "next input method" conflicts with Emacs and prevents its use. ibus should not use ctrl+space for anything, leave that for Emacs. Some other key combination can be used such as ctrl+shift+space, maybe:

Regardless, ctrl-space cannot be used. Using ctrl+space prevents the use of Emacs.

IBus->Preferences->General->Keyboard shortcuts : next input method -> ctrl+shift+space

I would have labeled this a bug in ibus, not emacs, but that may just be me being petty.
