Initial reconversion after turning IBus on doesn't start

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Turn IBus on (Ctrl-SPC)
2. Select characters to convert
3. Type keys bound to "Reconversion"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expected that reconversion starts immediately, but nothing happened. I typed 
the reconversion keys again, then the conversion started.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Mozc 1.3.911.102
Ubuntu 11.10 amd64
IBus 1.4.0-1ubuntu2
Gedit 3.2.1-0ubuntu2
Leafpad 0.8.17-5

Please provide any additional information below.

It seems that needs_surrounding_text flag is not set until the reconversion 
keys are typed first time, so the clients cannot send the surrounding text to 
Mozc engine before that.

Description of ibus_engine_get_surrounding_text() says:

It is also used to tell the input-context that the engine will utilize 
surrounding-text. In that case, it must be called in "enable" handler, with 
both text and cursor set to NULL.

So, this function have to be called from MozcEngine::Enable() as follows:

  ibus_engine_get_surrounding_text(engine, NULL, NULL, NULL);

Please check request_surrounding_text.patch I attached.

Hello,

Thank you for your report and follow-up.
But I'm really sorry, we cannot apply (or even read) your patch due to company 
policy.
I accepted this bug and will fix until next release.

Thank you for your corporation.

I think you can read my patch because I have already become a contributor of 
Mozc project last year. See src/CONTRIBUTORS file.

Hello Irie san,

We are not able to use external codes due to our company policy, even though it 
is from a contributor.  We use the internal code repository as our primary 
repository and we cannot check in any external code into the repository.  I 
admit this is inconvenient and confusing.  I have been figuring out a better 
way, but it would take a longer time to solve it.

Thank you for your patience,

Umm... I got it.

I hope that Google decides to change the company policy so that a small patch 
of at most about ten lines can be applied.

Thanks for the explanation.
