@David I'm not sure, since I have been manually patching it to test.

Bad news about that patch being an overall fix.

The patch fixes the problem if you are using XIM as the main IM; if you look at what is being patched it is specifically for XIM in the "ibus/client/x11/main.c". The problem is still there with unity because it uses the "ibus/client/gtk2/ibusimcontext.c" to handle the text. So if you use ibus through XIM the problem is fixed.

So this patch will fix ALL programs expect the unity dash if you use ibus through XIM; but if you use ibus the problem will still be there because of the env var set by unity.

This bug is still in ibus and not unity because you can re create this problem in GNOME or unity 2d. Still a useful patch as it is making progress on the problem! The unity dash still has this bug (since XIM doesn't work correctly in the dash either....)
