The issue only happens when logging in to a wayland session.
Also, I stumbled upon this upstream gtk issue:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/4699
Currently we install ibus-gtk4 by default (ibus recommends it), which is
my 'fault'. Assumed that it should be consistent with how ibus-gtk3 is
handled. Maybe not? OTOH, uninstalling ibus-gtk4 does not make a
difference with respect to the issue reported through this bug, so this
piece of info may be off topic here.

Title:
IBus not starting properly at login to wayland with gnome-shell 42
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in ibus package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
To get to the state in the bug summary I did:
1. Installed Ubuntu via the 220312 ISO
2. Made sure that all packages were updated
3. Installed ibus-libpinyin, re-logged in, and added "Intelligent
Pinyin" to the input sources
4. Enabled -proposed
5. Run this command:
sudo apt install gnome-shell gnome-shell-common gir1.2-mutter-10
libmutter-10-0 mutter-common
6. Rebooted
Now, once logged in, gnome-shell does not include "Intelligent Pinyin"
in the input source menu. Several expected processes are missing:
$ ps aux | grep ibus
gunnar 3057 0.0 0.0 232404 7984 ?Sl 20:05 0:00
ibus-daemon --panel disable -r --xim
gunnar 3076 0.0 0.0 157280 6228 ?Sl 20:05 0:00
/usr/libexec/ibus-memconf
gunnar 5117 0.0 0.0 24492 2776 pts/0S+ 20:06 0:00 grep
--color=auto ibus
If I start ibus-setup it shows the attached dialog. From there I can
click "Yes" and successfully start IBus that way, and then it works as
expected.
Note that im-config is not involved. Nowadays, on GNOME desktops, we
rely completely on the GNOME mechanisms for starting and configuring
IBus.
One thought is that ibus upstream has not released since August 20.
Can it possibly be that some unreleased upstream ibus commits are
needed for gnome-shell 42?
