Re: IM-related issues on openSUSE 12.1 Beta

Thank you for many patches.

When I had tried this 2 or 3 days ago, the toolbar did not work.

Now I noticed that the machine needs 15 sec. to launch GNOME3!!

The machine is HP Compaq 6710b (Core 2 Duo T7500) and not very slow.
# This is Novell Japan's machine for demo.

So, we have to set the wait to 15, 20 or more?


information from upstream's Bugzilla:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32148
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39242
# I wonder why the toolbar works in the second log-in.

We need IM launcher (manager) for 12.2 or later?
The IBus's DBus-launch problem, which I had resolved by another way, can 
be fixed by xdg/autostart as well.
