Gnome is getting most testing, but it also works nicely here for me
on WindowMaker.
I use the kkc (https://github.com/ueno/ibus-kkc) and anthy as input
method engines.

The way I run ibus with wmaker is

- to use the old style .xsession file
- then use the following ibus related commands inside:
        export IMSETTINGS_INTEGRATE_DESKTOP=yes
        ibus-daemon --xim --daemonize
        export IMSETTINGS_MODULE=ibus
        export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
        export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
        export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
        exec wmaker
