==Configuration==

ibus works in trinity, with these three changes

1.applications need this variable in their environment

export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus

you can add it in ~/.bashrc
or in the terminal just before
launching the application

2. ibus in xim mode

ibus-daemon --xim -d

3.embed the preedit text, otherwise it appears at
the bottom left corner of the window.
in ibus applet
right click applet > preferences >
embed preedit text in application window

==Pit falls==

*if QT_IM_MODULE is defined even empty, it blocks ibus. Make sure it's not set anywhere. Remove it from any file, like ~/.xprofile or ~/.bashrc .

*You need to launch ibus first.

*If ibus closes while an app uses it, the app will crash.
