I did some experiments with ibus.
I have a linux machine with ibus installed. When using that machine
natively, I can use ibus without any further configuration, except for
ibus daemon startup. Applications like gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal,
emacs24, google-chrome and chromium work fine ibus.
When I access that machine from another Windows computer with "ssh -Y
machine" and start ibus daemon with "ibus-daemon&", the following
behavior was obeserved.
1. ibus worked fine with gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal and goolge-chrome.
2. ibus didn't work with xterm, emacs24 and chromium.
Thanks for these details.
I did a bit of experimentation with a Ubutunu 14.10 remote host
ibus-daemon -drx
export XMODIFIERS="@im=ibus"
Gives me working ibus with xterm.
I couldn't get emacs working with ibus even locally, and setting that up
seems to be a bit obscure. Are you using ibus.el?
Chromium just works for me.

Is there a way to use input method in cygwin-x environment?
For example, when I invoke emacs with
"""""""""""""""""
ssh -X remote-machine
emacs
""""""""""""""""""
I can't use either input methods in local windows machine or those in
remote linux server.
This is something that I want to work, but I'm afraid I have no experience
using IMEs, so I'm not sure what needs doing, which is why the section [1]
in the User's Guide is currently empty. I hope you can help me with
identifying what that needs to say!
I believe it should possible to start your IME (ibus, scim, etc.) in the
remote sessions and have that work.
Alternatively, there was some work done a while ago to provide a bridge
between the native Windows IME and the server, which I believe allowed using
the native Windows IME to input into X windows. If that is useful, I can
probably bring that up to date.
