If you're implying im-chooser doesn't work in Gnome, you're right.
Yes, ibus is the default input-method for Gnome but not for KDE. If you were to run
im-chooser in Gnome you'd get an error and a log entry which would say something like
the
desktop isn't a target for im-chooser.
In KDE, it partially worked. The ibus prefs and settings GUIs are now in English. I
can now use ibus to enter Chinese, and ibus's font (including size) is what I want.
Now
I can not switch back to English. My ibus is set to control-space for switching. The
KDE keyboard sequence setting GUIs show control-space not used for anything else.
You said "partially" worked in KDE. But, I don't see where you mention what
isn't working
or not to your liking.
After doing the im-chooser in KDE, I can now use ibus in Gnome, and I can switch between
languages using the dropdown in the upper right corner, and control-space does work (in
Gnome). But, in Gnome, I'm still stuck with the teeny font in the ibus menu of
Chinese
characters.
Right. You may want to file a BZ about that.
What and where is the systray (or system tray)?
How do I put things in the systray?
What are the "super" and "opt" keys?
Are you talking about Gnome or KDE?
In Gnome ibus-daemon is started as "ibus-daemon --xim --panel disable" which, I
believe,
disables the native systray icon in favor of whatever Gnome does in the upper right.
In KDE ibus-daemon is started as "ibus-daemon -r --xim" and looks like show in
the screenshot.
