Yes please. New Keyboard configuration with ibus 1.5 requires GNOME 3.8
to work nicely.

Anyway, with classic init in place, GNOME 3.8 seems to be working fine
here.
I think you are still disabling systemd as configuration item and now
enabling ibus as configuration item. So systemd should not be the
issue. With the new experimental gnome-desktop3 package, it is nice
here with experimental/sid system of GNOME 3.8.

Systemd used to work for me, but recently I can not boot with systemd.
It seems switching root from the initramfs to the normal system requires
process ID to be 1 but my system crash complaining PID.
I am using Intel Graphics driver only (though I should have NVIDIA
here, too.) So my experience may not be valid for fancier graphics
driver situation.
