If you use qt applications, then you probably want ibus-qt as well.
-After installing, ibus will automatically be started in an xdg-compliant
-desktop environment; if this behavior is undesirable, you can disable it
-using your DE's session and/or startup management utility.
+To enable ibus put the following lines in your ~/.bashrc file:
+
+export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
+export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
+export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus

+ibus is pre-configured to autostart on xdg-compliant desktop environments
+if these settings are present. On other desktop environments you can add
+"ibus-autostart" to the respective autostart settings.
