To send the characters other text applications, you need to use an input method. Currently IBus supports input-pad, which is one of the most major input methods, and ibus-input-pad is the IBus engine. ibus-input-pad requires input-pad.
Please refer http://code.google.com/p/ibus/ for IBus topics. You might need to restart ibus-daemon to enable ibus-input-pad .
