Doh, this is damn bad...  We need to fix this urgently.
Maybe better to involve security guys in Cc in bugzilla.

So, ibus-mozc will be fixed soon, but ibus-pinyin and ibus-chewing
are still unresolved?

Any other engines tested / evaluated?

IIRC, Vincent (CC'ed) introduced it.

But, judging from your comment in bugzilla, the fix seems trivial.
So feel free to submit a fix for gtk2.  (The macro
/etc/rpm/macros.gtk2 belongs to gtk2-devel package.)

I'm afraid that only few people are happy with the migration of IBUS
on GNOME so far, mostly because of the unstability of IBUS 1.5
itself.  IBUS 1.4 was nice and smooth, but 1.5 is far below that
quality.
