I've recently installed iBus related packages from M17N repo and found
some problems in inputting Japanese by iBus-Anthy on flash sites.

1) If iBus related packages are installed and iBus is set as default
   input method, flash doesn't work on Firefox and Chromium browser (at
   least). If I launch those browsers with "GTK_IM_MODULE=xim", flash
   will work.

2) Can't input any characters into text box on flash site. I know this
   is a known issue and tried a workaround (installing Flash Player
   10.1 beta) which is introduced at
   http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=19926
   But I couldn't successfully install Flash Player 10.1 beta to my
   environment (openSUSE 11.2 x86_64). :-(
   # I couldn't see any flash plugin on "about:plugins" page on Firefox.

   With SCIM-Anthy, I can input characters into text box on flash site,
   if I launch Firefox with "GTK_IM_MODULE=xim".


As a Japanese user, unless those problems won't be solved, I can't agree
to treat iBus as a default input method at least in Japanese environment.

Best,
