Binary package hint: firefox

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 with GNOME desktop environment. The Chinese input application is Chewing with iBUS. To input Chinese, the key stroke is Ctrl-Space.
Many programs, such as GIMP and Chrome, are involved and not limited to Firefox. When I want to save something to a file in a new folder by FILE/SAVE AS/Create New Folder, a dialog popup with a new blank folder. The problem happens when I press "Ctrl-Space" to try to input Chinese, the new blank folder just disappear. Hence, it is impossible to create a folder with a Chinese name this way. However, to input Chinese characters as the "filename" is OK.

If I use Nautilus to create a new folder, I can input Chinese characters after pressing "Ctrl-Space". That is my workaround but it is inconvenient.
In addition, if I use Okular or Kchmsee, which depends on Qt, I can input Chinese characters as the name of new folder without anything going wrong. I wonder it is the GNOME-related library that is to blame.
