It appears that this issue has to do with an interaction with IBus being started prior to a particular process for plasmashell or some other desktop environment setup program.

In order to resolve this, I had to add a 3 second delay to the IBus script. (Aside: The reason I'm using IBus instead of fcitx is that Ibus has better support for certain asian languages which I switch between.)

Below is startup script I have now for starting the IBus daemon. It is run using the `Autostart` settings in System settings.
```
#!/bin/sh
sleep 3
ibus-daemon -drxR
```

I'm still not clear on which program the ibus-daemon is waiting on in order to properly start but this appears to be what was causing the Yakuake not receiving input (initially I thought it was frozen but it appears to have just been the keyboard input that wasn't working).

If anyone has any idea on how I can determine what the background process the ibus-daemon needs to wait on, please let me know.

I just noticed that I didn't fill out the form completely when I submitted this:

EXPECTED RESULT
Yakuake should receive input from the keyboard on startup
