Hi,

Please do not do TOP-POST.
I do not know if you followed all my points.
(Reordered to make this in logical order.)

This means ibus-pinin works on my end.  You seem to be doing sopmething
wrong to me.  Are you sure you have bug.  (At least this is
unreproducible.)

You had problem.

Sounds like you have a bit different situation.

Actually, I tested ibus-pinyin too.  It is OK.

Wait.  You use ibus-googlepinyin, too.

Anyway, do they still causing errors such as:
  IBUS-CRITICAL **: ibus_bus_get_global_engine: assertion

Please test this with and without ibus-googlepinyin.

How do you know?  Habve you installed required fonts?

By the way, is this your first time setting up this kind of things or
are you familiar with things?

If you do not know how, please seek help elsewhere.  This is bug report
communication only.

Also, have you configured system properly with "apt-get dist-upgrade"?
If you kept using "apt-get upgrade" only, system may get into funckey
situation beyond what we support.
