Bug Description

Though 10.04 is old, it is an LTS and still interests people who want to stay with GNOME 2.
The IBus version included in Lucid's repository is too outdated and buggy.
Everyone really need to use IBus on Lucid has to install the following PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~shawn-p-huang/+archive/ppa
So, why don't we make it official?

IBus 1.3.9 is an old stable version.
Due to GLib incompatibility we cannot have IBus 1.3.99+.
So 1.3.9 is already the newest version we can have on Lucid.

Thank you for your bug report, we don't do major version upgrades on stable serie though, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for the stable update rules, we could backport selected fixes if needed but you would need to describe specific issues. You might also want to consider using the new LTS if you need more recent softwares

Well, as a contributor of IBus upstream, I'd say we in no way support 1.2.0.20091215 stuff for a long time. Whenever a user file a new issue for Ubuntu 10.04, we ask her to upgrade.

I think I can find tons of old bugs both on LP and upstream
