Re: _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW buggy timestamp

[Mike Qin <mikeandmore gmail com>]

I remember if you have not installed ibus-gtk, ibus will fallback to XIM 
engine. Also check your current input method, whether XIM was triggered 
or not.

As far as I know in Ubuntu, you don't have to install anything extra for 
XIM, XIM comes by default, and XIM will be the default fallback option 
if gtk-immodule is not available for ibus.

XIM is indeed a very old protocol, other distros will separate 
gtk3-immodules-xim as an optional package, but it seems that Ubuntu don't.

Thanks

In this case, it's likely that all of xclients have a textbox will be 
reported as bogus. It's a libX11 bug.
