Hi,

I did some experiments with ibus.

I have a linux machine with ibus installed. When using that machine
natively, I can use ibus without any further configuration, except for
ibus daemon startup. Applications like gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal,
emacs24, google-chrome and chromium work fine ibus.

When I access that machine from another Windows computer with "ssh -Y
machine" and start ibus daemon with "ibus-daemon&", the following
behavior was obeserved.
1.  ibus worked fine with gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal and goolge-chrome.
2.  ibus didn't work with xterm, emacs24 and chromium.

I am extremely crazy about different behavior of ibus with
google-chrome and chromium.

I think it is a good idea to bring native Windows IME into cygwin/x.

Thanks,
Arthur
