I posted similar concerns on 16 October when I first got Anthy + iBus 
installed and working in Xubuntu 10.10.  The upgrade from 10.04 suddenly 
made everything work properly.

At that time, I wrote:

Yours is the first possible verification I have received.  At the time I 
wrote, I blamed iBus rather than Anthy due to the name of the file that 
was reported to be wasting so many CPU cycles.

The Anthy + iBus combination subsequently crashed while I was attempting 
to set it up for about the fourth time, taking a whole lot of my desktop 
customization with it.  The biggest pain was having to rebuild Panel all 
over again, and now I have to restart Panel from the Desktop (Alt + F2) 
about 80% of the time.  However, once the crash happened, CPU use went 
'way down.

I have tried several times to identify the conflict that might have 
caused the crash without success.  Whatever was causing the problem went 
away when the conflict resolved itself.
