I am having a weird issue with ibus-pinyin. I am running Fedora 28 with the Cinnamon desktop (dnf groupinstall "Cinnamon Desktop"), and i occasionally type Chinese. I installed ibus and ibus-pinyin, a couple of extra i18n fonts, and i put



ibus-daemon -drx


in my user's .xprofile file. This works all nice & dandy if I switch my user's desktop to "Chinese" in Preferences -> Language. I can then switch between Chinese pinyin and English IME input just fine.



However, if i set my user's locale to EN/US, the ibus daemon doesn't start (or at least there's no applet on the panel), and if I start it manually afterwards, I can switch between ZH/CN adn EN/US in the applet, but my input stays on the English IME.



I am not even sure where to start looking ... does anyone have any ideas?
