Bug Description
The input method "fcitx' is supposed to work with Unity dash in raring,but it is not working well.
This happens *only* when I set the launcher to hide as default.
When I press Super to open the dash and begin to type characters into dash or HUD display (by pressing left alt),sometimes I can activate the input method.In more cases,there aren't any response when pressing "ctrl+space"
I've asked a developer of fcitx ("csslayer") but he said he knew nothing about it.He said it could be a bug of unity and suggested me to report the bug here.

This affects me too.
And one of the debug output of unity goes like this,
"ERROR 2013-05-12 00:54:41 unity.glib-gobject <unknown>:0 g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed"
When Fcitx is not running the problem won't occur, I think this is no simply a bug of unity.
