Comment 43 for bug 663776

@Kyle,
Your testing case is obviously wrong. if you want to use ibus/or any input
method, you need enable it firstly in your own session. If you run input
method automatically under any locale, people will be confused, for many
non-cjk users don't need it, just like you, and we had similar approach to
let input method start automatically for everyone in 6.06, users complained.
