            Bug ID: 379930
           Summary: kcm_keyboard kills ibus daemon, entirely breaking the
                    keyboard
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: 5.8.6
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: NOR
         Component: kcm_keyboard
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: post at ralfj.de
  Target Milestone: ---

I was having some trouble setting up ibus, which I first attributed to bugs in
ibus itself:  ibus would not start automatically
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=862721) and would sometimes
quit on suspend-resume
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=862717).  However, since
then, I have noticed that the following line appears in .xsession-errors every
time ibus breaks:

  org.kde.kcm_keyboard: ibus successfully stopped

The result of this is that keyboard input does not work -- effectively making
the machine unusable.

I assume there is/was a good reason for kcm_keyboard to kill the ibus daemon,
but right now, the net effect of this behavior is rather catastrophic.  As far
as I can tell, the only possible "fix" for me is to uninstall ibus :/
