I'm trying out Awesome3, but so far I can't find a way to make all applications in Awesome work nice with iBus.
In my ~/.xprofile I wrote
setxkbmap be
export XMODIFIERS="@im=ibus"
export GTK_IM_MODULE="ibus"
for use in Xfce4, where it makes iBus work in all applications.
I added the same to ~/.xinitrc where I can start Awesome with startx.
setxkbmap be
export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
ibus-daemon &
exec awesome
However, iBus only works in Gtk applications such as Firefox.
What can be done?
EDIT: oh, and I forgot to add, when I start Awesome from LXDM, it does work in non-Gtk apps as well.

Have you tried to launch awsome with consolekit?
e.g. exec ck-launch-session awsome
lxdm probably does that for you
You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me.

I just tried that, and it doesn't help, rather it adds another problem, namely that the iBus icon disappears (but in Gtk applications I can still input characters with iBus).
EDIT: interestingly enough, it doesn't do that after I've tried it a few times.
I don't see how consolekit could help here anyway.

Going by the ibus wiki and a bit of searching you don't need need a line starting the ibus daemon in xinitrc. Where did you see that you needed that?

Without putting that line somewhere I don't get an iBus icon on startup which makes selecting characters a hassle, and I cannot change any settings.
EDIT: now I'm getting confused

This is no longer the case, I'm truly puzzled.

It doesn't get a mention in here or in the reults of my searching on the net so I was wondering about it.
Maybe adding dbus to .xinitrc as per the dbus wiki would help.

I did this, yet the problem persists: I can only use iBus in Gtk applications.

The wiki does say to put the three export lines in .bashrc - have you tried doing that?

Yes they are in .bashrc.

Yes they are in .bashrc.
You said in your first post that those lines were in two other files, since it is working inconsistently I would make sure they are only in .bashrc.

I gave it a try yet the problem persists.

You did log out/in for the .bashrc changes to take affect? It does seem like you've done everything I can find that you should have. Maybe run ibus-setup again. If that fails someone else might chime in with a clue...

Yes, I did log in and out. Thanks for trying to help me, though.
