Public bug reported: Note that ubuntu-desktop depends on ibus-gtk3 already.
Looking at /usr/share/im-config/data/21-ibus.rc GTK_IM_MODULE is only set to ibus if both gtk-2.0 and gtk-3.0 ibus modules are present. Otherwise it's set to xim. If GTK_IM_MODULE=xim and ibus is running, then various bugs happen like LP: #1374721 and LP: #1375742. Installing ibus-gtk makes those problems go away.
