Details

With Gnome 3.6, Chinese input (using the ibus-pinyin input method) is broken. I can enable/configure PinYin input, but when I switch to it, the keyboard acts as it does for English.

For example, if I type "nihao", it echoes that string as typed, instead of showing a menu and suggesting 你好.

The Dvorak input method works, so the problem seems specific to ibus-pinyin.
This task depends upon

I am using KDE and have this problem too.
Downgrading to ibus-1.4.2 in [community] do not solve the problem.

I forgot to mention that I'm running [testing]. The issue is that the current version of ibus-pinyin is incompatible with the ibus in [testing].

A temporary fix is to install pyzy-git and ibus-pinyin-git from the AUR.

Daniel Griffiths (ghost1227) has stepped down as a package maintainer, but he's still the assigned maintainer of ibus-pinyin, so someone will have to take up maintainership of this package in his stead.

After Gnome 3.6 is now stable and ibus-1.4.99.20121006-2 is now it still does not work.

There is an ibus-pinyin-1.4.99.20120808.tar.gz on the ibus project download page, could anyone try it?

Rebuild ibus-pinyin in ABS solve the issue.
Add install ibus-pinyin-git fix it too.

With these two issues:

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/32440
https://code.google.com/p/ibus/issues/detail?id=1542

this issue is now redundant I think; it can be closed.
