Comment 5 for bug 1332847

Well, actually I did switch to arch linux, not an ubuntu user anymore. However I suppose it is still issue because of upstream ibus-libpinyin package. Likely I would to post a bug report there but right now I am simply fixing it for my self using simple patch like this:

```
diff -Naur src.org/ibus-libpinyin-1.9.0/src/libpinyin.xml.in.in src/ibus-libpinyin-1.9.0/src/libpinyin.xml.in.in

```
After that all starts working just fine.

see source here https://github.com/libpinyin/ibus-libpinyin/blob/master/src/libpinyin.xml.in.in#L24

switching to chinese from russian uses default layout, as described in that xml, which is RU. because of that switching does not work. Forcing the layout to be US resolves the issue.

Hope the information will be useful to somebody
