I'm trying to get iBus to work in KDE4, but for some reason it only works with Gtk applications, not in Qt/KDE.
I'm using KDM, so I wrote the following in ~/.xsession, not in ~/.xinitrc
GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
XMODIFIERS="@im=ibus"What could possibly be the cause?

Hi, winkler. Do you have ibus-qt (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29348) installed?

Yes, ibus-qt is installed from the AUR.

Hm... not too sure what the issue is. What does
echo $QT_IM_MODULEand
echo $LANGsay in Konsole? I have the variables set in ~/.xprofile, so how about setting them in there? This is what my ~/.xprofile looks like:
$ cat ~/.xprofile
export LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
export XMODIFIERS="@im=ibus"
export GTK_IM_MODULE="ibus"
export QT_IM_MODULE="ibus"

echo $QT_IM_MODULEjust returns a blank line,
echo $LANGreturns en_GB.UTF-8.

OK. Definitely a problem where KDM isn't picking up your settings. Have you tried adding them to ~/.xprofile? According to http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xprofile , KDM should be looking at this.
If ~/.xprofile doesn't work, try these steps:
1. Start Konsole
2. export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
3. Start a KDE application, i.e. kwrite.
4. See if ibus works.

Seems like it works now, thanks.
