having trouble with ibus

[lijpbasin]

OK, I'm really having trouble with ibus now
I had ibus and ibus-pinyin installed in my system to input Chinese
But since my system update today, ibus was upgraded from 1.3.9 to 1.4.0
I can no longer select Chinese input method with it

I've been searching for the solution for the rest of the day, and nothing valuable was found
Please help me~

I'm using Arch Linux, Here's the system info and ibus version

[jpli@balance ~]$ uname -a
Linux balance 3.0-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Aug 30 08:53:25 CEST 2011 x86_64 AMD
Phenom(tm) 9150e Quad-Core Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

[jpli@balance ~]$ pacman -Qs ibus
local/ibus 1.4.0-1
Next Generation Input Bus for Linux.
local/ibus-pinyin 1.3.11-2
The PinYin Engine for IBus Input Framework.
local/ibus-sunpinyin 2.0.3-1
The SunPinYin Engine for IBus Input Framework. SunPinYin is a Statistical
Language Model based pinyin IME by Sun.

And the desktop environment input method settings:

[jpli@balance ~]$ env | grep IM
GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE=/etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules
QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus

desktop environment startup code:


[jpli@balance ~]$ tail ~/.xinitrc

export GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE=/etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules
ibus-daemon --xim -d
#ibus-daemon -d # This option does not work with libreoffice

# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
exec ck-launch-session fvwm

Not being familiar with this application, have you tried to uninstall and then reinstall the packages from scratch?

I'm already using fcitx, thank you

I got this link from Arch Linux Forum, suggesting I rebuiding ibus-pinyin engine, it's worth trying
