I have chewing installed. That only gives you the Taiwanese input 
scheme. Jyut ping was amongst the simple table inputs in SCIM. As far as 
I can see only a few of those simple table input methods have been 
carried across to ibus.

I do hope ibus becomes the one final input scheme. This endless changing 
of input schemes, with more concern about the code than about users 
entering characters, has been a huge pain for anyone who uses 
Chinese/Japanese/Korean on Linux (and maybe other languages for all I know).
