Bug Description

Binary package hint: language-support-input-th

When installing language-support-input-th either via the Language Support app or manually, the correct Thai input mechanism (provided by ibus-table-thai) is expected to be present in the Ibus configuration, but is not.

After manually installing ibus-table-thai, it is available, and input works as expected and allows full expression of the language.

Thus, language-support-input-th should have a requires dependency on ibus-table-thai.

Installing either "ibus-table-thai" or "ibus-m17n" seems to solve the problem.
I don't know which one is preferred.

Last time I tried ibus on Fedora, I was not happy with either of these.
ibus-table-thai dumbly maps keys to characters, without any
sequence validation, while ibus-m17n relies on preedit mode,
which is totally not belong for Thai.

Fortunately, surrounding text support has been added to ibus for
some time. [1] This enables development of context-sensitive
validating input method, just like what gtk-im-libthai currently does.
Problem is I can't find a time slot to do it yet.

Meanwhile, ibus-table-thai should be fine. Or if the surrounding
text API has been deployed by ibus-m17n, that would be nice.
