Our app depends on ibus being configured as the input method - some terminals depend on GTK_IM_MODULE being set. (Gnome Terminal might work, but others would break, so we default to warning the user about this).

One place you can set this is in your ~/.bashrc:

export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus

Are there any issues you're encountering after going through the doctor steps?
