I recently dist-upgraded to a new version of various packages and found that
xjed (both 0.99.18+dfsg.1-11_amd64 and 0.99.19-7+b1_amd64) had stopped
working at all.  The symptoms are:
- No response to keyboard input
- No response to SIGINT
- (Sometimes) window renders, but is just a blank black window with a text
  cursor
- Using 'jed' (non-X11 version) has no problem.

I found this thread where someone had a similar problem:
http://jed-users.jedsoft.narkive.com/WGfkeAGx/xjed-ignores-keypresses

Sure enough, the advice in that thread, to kill ibus-daemon, makes the
problem go away as long as ibus-daemon remains dead.

I haven't run into any other programs conflicting with ibus-daemon, so I
guess this is a problem in xjed somewhere.

Could you please confirm that this problem still occurs in version
0.99.20~pre.151+dfsg-2 of the package? I cannot reproduce it in my
system.

I am hereby tagging this bug report accordingly ("unreproducible" and
"moreinfo").
