it is so broken, in fact, that Xubuntu has stopped seeding it.
not having the need to use different keyboard layouts, i don't trust
myself to have an adequate perspective to pass judgement on it, but at
this point, i'm really feeling like we need to follow suit.
so to you users of different keyboard layouts, can you live without
iBus? if you uninstalled it, does it still work?
if we can live without it, it sure would be nice to get this done in
time for 14.10's release, so your prompt attention is most
appreciated.

I use the Dvorak keyboard layout (of US English), which is what was
configured during installation.
When I sign-in, that keyboard layout is in-effect.
Occasionally (rarely), I need to switch to Qwerty (for someone else on
the machine). I use the "Keyboard Layout Handler" applet in the
task-bar to do this, and it works.
I have not had any problems using the above on Lubuntu 14.04. It works,
and I need this capability.
I don't know if what I've described above uses "ibus".
That being said, if I use the Chromium browser, and try to type a URL
into it, or even type anything into a web-form displayed by it, it acts
as if no keyboard is connected. Only Chromium has this problem -
Firefox (and all other applications) receive input from the keyboard, in
the currently-selected layout.
I wonder if the above paragraph is a manifestation of the "ibus" problem
you mentioned.
