Yes, ibus is the default input-method for Gnome but not for KDE.  If you were 
to run
im-chooser in Gnome you'd get an error and a log entry which would say 
something like the
desktop isn't a target for im-chooser.

You said "partially" worked in KDE.  But, I don't see where you mention what 
isn't working
or not to your liking.

Right.  You may want to file a BZ about that.

Are you talking about Gnome or KDE?

In Gnome ibus-daemon is started as "ibus-daemon --xim --panel disable" which, I 
believe,
disables the native systray icon in favor of whatever Gnome does in the upper 
right.

In KDE ibus-daemon is started as "ibus-daemon -r --xim" and looks like show in 
the screenshot.
