When I tried a second time, prompted by your comment, it did indeed work. </RED_FACE> Under gnome it turns out there is no ~/.ibus but I did find ibus config stuff in ~/.cache/ibus/, ~/.gconf/desktop/ibus/, and ~/.config/ibus/. I stopped ibus (by unchecking the Enable box in System->Preferences->Input Method because there is another applet (imsettings?) that automatically restarts ibus if one just "Quit"s from the ibus icon, and I wasn't able to turn the bloody thing off by unchecking boxes in Preferences->Startup Applications). I got rid of those personal ibus directories and also my ~/.anthy/ directory, and after logging out/in, was able to reenable ibus and now it works again! Then did upgrade to latest versions and it is still working. Hooray -- no Windows! :-) Thanks for everyone's help!! -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
