Bug 2906

the overlay list of characters of ibus
appears at the bottom left corner of the window.
Presumably, that's position (0,0), ibus probably
doesn't get the position of the cursor
The list should be next to the cursor.

I'm assigning severity major, because all
languages that depend on an input manager
(Chinese, Korean, Japanese etc....)
become hard to write because they have to
look away from the place you are writing.

There's a partial workaround, by
having it embed the preedited text
in the editor. But you still get the
long list of possibilities way to the left.

--------------------------------
some explanations, it's a bit
complicated.

ibus is an input manager.
You use it to input languages like
Chinese.

example installation for japanese
sudo apt-get install ibus ibus-anthy

To make it work in trinity
the application needs this variable
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus

and ibus need to be launched this way
ibus-daemon --xim -d

ibus needs to be launched first.

in the application, type "ai"
you see preedited text
if you press enter, it will commit it.
if you press space once, it will give the 
most frequent kanji, if you press space
again, you get a whole list of options
