Bug Description
This is ubuntu-bug report and further info is meant to be added to another bug, but Launchpad could not find it by even a part of its title (odd name must have thown it): https:/
(gedit:3366): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/oem/
Issue occured for me in very specific circumstances: attempt to run two sudo gedit commands running simultaneously. The second failed with the error: (gedit:3214): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/username/
It failed in the sense that gedit did not open.
It may have been significant that a related command was already running in another terminal (xfce4-terminal 0.6.1) window: sudo iptables -L > iptables_rules_.txt
This comand takes a while to chug through its output. So gedit, or whatver, was already occupied.
While that was happening, I had issued another sudo gedit command in another terminal window: sudo gedit /etc/firewall.bash
It was that comand reported the above-quoted error.
The failed sudo gedit command was resissued after the first had finished. Gedit opened the (new) file this time. It appeared, in other words, to have worked. It nevertheless repeated the error: "(gedit:3301): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/username/
