Uhhh, no.  It is preset, and the setting is cast in concrete.  I tried 
uninstalling, erasing the setup file, and then reinstalling iBus, which 
produced the same result as above.  Any attempt to change the setting 
takes you to a large, friendly box marked "Disabled" that cannot be 
clicked or changed.  Erasing the preset only takes choices away and does 
not allow you any opportunity to replace the missing setting.  DAMHIKIJK.

Nor by me.  But the iBus versions are the same in Debian 7 and Xubuntu.  
The behaviour is different.

I just didn't like Fedora.  I can't say exactly why, it just didn't feel 
like something I wanted to have on my PC.  And, there's something about 
the Gnome desktop that makes me think its code was first drawn in crayon 
on the back of a brown paper lunchbag.  I am gravitating toward KDE and 
LXDE for look and feel, but am still stumped for  what OS to run 
underneath them.
