Yes.  The last time I used GNOME was when Red Hat Linux was in vogue. ;-)

I mentioned that because it's one of two differences between my system
and a standard one.  The other is that I'm running KDE 4.8 Beta 2.  I
suppose it's possible they've fixed something in the systray that
affects the IBus applet (or Gtk applets in general).

If this problem bothers you enough to attempt a complete KDE upgrade,
there are packages for 4.8 Beta 2 you can try right now. [1]  But, 4.8
RC1 is going to be released Wednesday, and Fedora's KDE SIG should
have it packaged a few days afterward, so you might want to wait and
try something a little more stable.
