@missyou11
Thank you for pointing out "万能五笔" (Omnipotent Wubi).
http://www.wnwb.com/
It has both "EXE外挂版" (EXE plugin version) and "IME内置版" (IME built-in version).
"EXE外挂版" has its own advantages as well as odds (as documented in the website).
And "IME内置版" won't lose all the goodies about "万能五笔".

For Ubuntu, using ibus-fcitx for a while don't prevent a user to switch to Fcitx completely later.

@csslayer
I've skimmed through the diff of the two "Related branches". It seems that you are adding Fcitx in parallel to IBus. So that GCIN, HIME, UIM would still be unusable under nux. Though I personally advocate that alternative IMFs provide IBus frontends. I would like to see patches that make nux independent of IBus rather than patches that add dependency to yet another IMF.
