Bug Description

Binary package hint: ibus

Clicking on the:

  System->Preferences->IBus Preferences

menu gives a dialogue box:

  "IBus daemon is not started. Do you want to start it now?"

This is a utterless pointless question, as the user has no clue what the heck an "IBus daemon" is, nevermind what one might use it for. In addition, the dialogue presented has not window title text.

Ideally the software should be changed to "do the right thing". If the software can only function with an on-demand daemon running, then arrange for it to be started with the first DBus call...

In addition the title should be changed to something informative.
