I confirm that the patch referenced in #9 works on Ubuntu MATE 15.10 and resolves #1501832.
fcitx-bin has been added to the Ubuntu MATE to satisfy complex input requirements of CJKV users. Sadly, the inclusion of fcitx-bin make fcitx default and that breaks the input requirements for other users. The patch referenced in #9 seems like a good trade off to me.
