OK.....

First, the cryptic stuff....  IBus means Intelligent Input Bus. It is an
input framework for Linux.

To enable IBus on KDE, GNOME probably has a similar setting (I think it
works OK in GNOME), using the classic tree style menu you go to
"Settings" and pick "Input Method Selector".  From there you pick "Use
IBus".  And you logout and log back in.

That's it...
