Thank you so much Gunnar!

just a minor comment. ibus-libpinyin can also be toggled to input
traditional Chinese characters (繁體中文)from the default simplified Chinese
(简体中文)。People who live in Taiwan may prefer to use "bopomofo", which, as I
understand it, uses the same engine as ibus-libpinyin but a different
keyboard layout.

With ibus-libpinyin development now seemingly in the pipeline, I am
switching back from Fedora to Ubuntu!

There are ways to improve ibus-libpinyin, will discuss them later. Perhaps
a new thread?
