Ibus + m17n stops working after lock-screen

[orome]

Hi,
this is a problem I have been able to reproduce several times on several laptops.

1) I have 2 keyboard layouts (say US + amharic (sera m17n)).
2) Everything works fine and I am able to switch between the two layouts.
3) I am on an empty workspace
4) I lock the screen.
5) I unlock the screen. (even with fingerprints)
6) I see that the "amh m17n" layout is not working anymore. It is not in the notification area. Nor wan I switch using keyboard shortcut.

Step "3" is really important since as soon as the focus is on a "keyboard aware window" the layout works fine again!
For example if you have an editor open in full screen, the bug will not occur. More precisely it will happen but as soon as the focus is on the editor window the layout is working again.

It's almost funny, for example after the bug occurred you may simply hit the window key, as soon as you click on the search area the two letters come back in the notification area.

It does not occur when using two non-m17n layouts.
