Bug Description

When using Minecraft (via minecraft-installer or any other way) on
Ubuntu with ibus running, Minecraft won't accept any keyboard input. To
fix this, java can be launched with "XMODIFIERS= " (basically clear that
env variable). It would be great if the unity-launcher installed by
minecraft-installer could automatically do this.

Basically in minecraft.desktop in the [Desktop Entry] section, set Exec
to something like this:

Exec=sh -c "XMODIFIERS= java -Xmx2048M -Xms512M -cp
/usr/share/minecraft/minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame"
