Re: "start the windowmanager" - Is *windowmanager" a generic term or
the name of a specific application?

Is that one long string to type into the terminal?

I can execute "ibus-setup" from the terminal (not from the menu
however), but looking under the Input Method tab, it's blank.  There
are no input methods to select....

Under the General tab, "Enable or disable" is set to:
"Control+space; Zenkaku_Hankaku; Alt+Kanji; Alt+grave; Hangul;
Alt+Release+Alt_R"

I've been trying (as I've always done) [Ctrl]+[Space]

Thanks for the feedback.
