Binary package hint: ibus

Latest karmic

Version: 1.2.0.20090723-1

ibus should not be in the "other" category. It should be somewhere more descriptive.

Thanks.

IMHO the ibus.desktop file, which puts the entry into the "Other" category is not necessary and should be removed. IBus configuration is already accessible via System->Preferences.

@LI Daobing:
what's your opinion on this?

ibus-setup.desktop is used to config ibus, and it is already in Settings category.
ibus.desktop is used to start ibus

How about add ibus.desktop to "System" category?

well, on Debian/Ubuntu ibus is started with the X session using im-switch. Therefor a separate menu entry to "start" ibus is misleading and should be removed. Since the environment variables must be set before ibus is started and that needs to happen in the X session anyways, it's even contra productive to provide an additional menu item, which misleads the user he could start and use ibus that way.

I'm not sure this belongs here or in a seperate report, but it would be nice if ibus-setup.desktop.in would become a bit more descriptive too. Something like "Comment="IBus input method Preferences" would be nice.
