Bug Description
Binary package hint: ibus
Karmic recently(?) added an "iBus Preferences" item to the Preferences menu. If you click it, you get a dialog saying "IBus daemon is not started. Do you want to start it now?". How is a user supposed to know if they want to or not, when there's no explanation what an IBus daemon is?
---
This bug is only about the message when Ibus was *not* started.

Rename Menu item Ibus preferences to "Keyboard Input Methods" > Bug #596058
"IBus has been started!" message is incorrect and geeky > Bug #485174

I can definitely confirm this one! This is overall a very confusing menu entry, I wonder if it really needs to exist in System -> Preferences.
