2012-08-30 04:30:55 Brandon Schaefer description Right now the only input method (IM) that works with Unity/Nux is IBus. This means anyone who uses a different IM would have to switch to IBus in order to type in their language. This is something that needs to be fixed and will make Unity/Nux friendlier to those who use different IMs. If you do not use an IM then this will not affect you. XIM was the very first IM for the X window system, which means most IMs have support for it. A List of IMs that will be supported by this branch (There could be more): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_input_methods_for_UNIX_platforms All of those under XIM will now work in Unity and Nux with this branch.

[Impact] As 12.04 is an LTS, many users decide to stay with that version until the next LTS version is available. Many of those users require different input methods to comfortably input characters in their language. We do support IBus for some of the languages, but others are still using XIM as the input framework. Those users cannot input in their language using their standard input methods. This means using the Dash and HUD is much more troublesome or even impossible in normal cases. We think that even though it is essentially a new feature, it can be thought that the lack of support for non-IBus additional input methods is a bug in a way. It is a big change, but with proper testing, we would ensure that the addition does not introduce any new regressions. This addition would make many MANY users happy, which can be seen at least by the number of affected people in LP: #983254. [Test Case] TODO [Regression Potential] Broken IBus input in Nux input fields. Input problems. [Other Info] The same functionality is already available in the newer Unity releases.

The good thing about the XIM support is that it's rather isolated, so potential breakage of the XIM code won't impact normal Nux workflow. Just XIM input might not work. The author of the code, Brandon, also mentions that new regression potential is low as the XIM code is not being used by default. As XIM is not the default, when IBus is present - without explicitly setting XIM in im-config, the XIM parts are not even accessed.
