Here is my set of env variables (can be in ~/.xinitrc);

export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
export SDL_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export GLFW_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export DefaultImModule=fcitx
export XMODIFIERS="@im=fcitx"

I am using fcitx, but for ibus, the "bus" module could be `ibus` or 
`xim`.
When I was using ibus, I was using xim, so all values above would have 
been `xim`
last one being `@im=xim`.

Making ibus work in `xim` mode, is an ibus-daemon option. Which was most 
reliable
for me.

Hope it helps.
