+=================
+ibus auto-startup
+=================
+The ibus package has an ibus.desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart/, so if your
+desktop environment is xdg compatible and the $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is not set, ibus
+will be automatically launched during startup of the your DE after you have
+logged in. If you don't want to remove ibus package and want use other input
+method programs (like SCIM), you can place an ibus.desktop file in your personal
+autostart directory (most likely ~/.config/autostart/) which contains the key
+Hidden=true. You'll also want to make the ibus profile scripts non-executable:
+
+ chmod -x /etc/profile.d/ibus.{csh,sh}
+
+If your DE is not xdg compatible (what a pity..), you can add the following
+to your shell init files (~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.zprofile, etcetera):
+
+ if [ -x /usr/bin/ibus-daemon ]; then
+ /usr/bin/ibus-daemon --xim &
+ fi
+
+=============================
+environment variable settings
+=============================
+chmod +x /etc/profile.d/ibus.{sh,csh} will enable environment variable settings
+at login, but if you have ibus-qt installed, you may also prefer to run
+qtconfig and set "Default Input Method" to ibus.
