I use Gnome3 - the standard that comes with Debian Sid. The ibus icon is now showing up in my gnome-task-panel on top. My engine is now registered as m17n:zh:py. Unfortunately, it still cannot type Chinese. And when I restarted my computer and did ibus-setup to start ibus-daemon (still no icon in Gnome Shell), it turned on ibus but than that replaced my normal keyboard input switches (I use US-Dvorak International, TIRO Hebrew, and Greek), so I had to re-activate them by removing and re-adding a keyboard back in System Settings --> Keyboard.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling ibus-pinyin as well as ibus-googlepinyin. However, it seems that there is no engine that drives my Chinese. All I get is more English.
