ibus-ui-gtk3 hangul keyboard layout property panel window won't go away

  • 772

I am running Xubuntu 20.04 on amd64.

When I installed a Korean keyboard layout ("input method") through IBus, a small window appeared on my screen.

ibus-ui-gtk3 property panel window

Using xwininfo I found that this window is titled "ibus-ui-gtk3".

The window has options relating to the Korean input method (e.g. a button to toggle between hangul and hanja). However, the window never goes away, even when I switch to a different input method (e.g. English).

How do I make this window go away, or at least only show up when using the Korean input method?

  1. I solved this issue by opening "IBus Preferences" (ibus-setup from CLI) and changed the "Show property panel:" option in the "General" tab to "Do not show".

    Now the "property panel" (as I now know it is called) is not present. There is also a "Hide automatically" option that seems to make the window only show up when you start typing.
