Ibus stopped working in Skype 4.3

Hi there,

I'm using Ibus-unikey to type Vietnamese. I put these lines into /etc/profile:

export XMODIFIERS="@im=ibus"
export GTK_IM_MODULE="ibus"
export QT4_IM_MODULE="ibus"
export QT_IM_MODULE="ibus"

I can type Vietnamese in any apps, from LibreOffice, GTK 2/3 to QT 4/5... but recently I can't type Vietnamese in Skype anymore. Accented characters never got inserted.

I don't know if this is the issue of Skype, Ibus or Ibus-unikey. I also tried Ibus-bogo which is another input method for Vietnamese but it's even worse: nothing changed at the system tray icon when I change the input method, unable to type Vietnamese.

Here my brief info of my system:
- Linux tharch.linux 3.17.4-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 21 21:14:42 CET 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux
- Skype 4.3.0.37-3
- ibus-unikey 0.6.1-3
- ibus 1.5.9-4

Please help!

Re: Ibus stopped working in Skype 4.3

do you have ibus-qt package installed? The problem was fixed for me after installing that one.
