Actually, this turned out to not be the case.  All RedHat systems have
the same problem, ibus-anthy (ibus itself actually) is missing a
dependency. It turns out (figured this out by doing a Debian install and
seeng what it pulled in as dependency that RH/Fedora didn't) that the
RH/Fedora ibus rpm doesn't have dbus-x11 as a dependency, and it is
required for ibus and ibus-anthy to work properly.

I've filed a bug and hopefully, it will be fixed shortly as it's a one
liner to be added to the ibus spec file.
