ibus still broken

[Stuart McGraw]

I asked here a few days ago about ibus 
which broke after I did a yum update.

No one responded but I saw some other posts 
about different problems with ibus so I 
waited until some new updates appeared.

However after upgrading again just now, it 
is still broken -- still no input editor 
appears when I type the enable sequence.  
However now the (new) ibus icon says "no 
input window" when left-clicked.

Is ibus ever going to work?  I write non-
english emails everyday and Fedora is 
useless to me without a working ibus.  
At this point I wonder if I should blow 
off Fedora and and just return to Windows?
