While this bug is fixed, I've found a workaround for non-working apps,
such as Skype.

I just created a file in the path, for example /usr/bin/skype-ibus with
the following commands:

------------------
#!/bin/bash
unset XMODIFIERS # unsets the environment variable telling apps which XIM 
module to use
/usr/bin/skype-wrapper & # starts Skype in a child process
------------------

That way I prevent the app from using ibus, since my standard config is:
XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus

This "re-confirms" this to be an ibus issue, in my opinion, probably
with some module since most apps work fine.

At least, most apps do not suffer this problem now.

Thank you for your good work. Let me know if I can help solving this.
