Hi,

thank you for the update on this list as well.

I think that we are in a typical case, where a bug affects a subcategory of
users, who are not well represented among the developers (probably using Ibus
for English-Chinese or English-Japanese switches), and who are not particularly
skilled to solve the problem by themselves.  Do-o-craty does not help here.

Perhaps one solution is to resort to pledge-based payed development ?  I would
be more than happy to pay for getting the support either in Wheezy or as a
backport.

By the way, how is that problem solved in Ubuntu ?  Perhaps there is a good
synergy to have there...

Have a nice day,
