* Does this bug affect Utopic users that fresh installed it (not upgraded from a previous release)?

* For users facing this bug, a simple fix is, as others mentioned, to run "ibus-setup", go to the "Advanced tab" and enable "Use system keyboard layout".
It works for me.

* I attached a patch that changes the default value of /desktop/ibus/general/use-system-keyboard-layout to true, which should fix the issue.
But, after compiling and installing the ibus package myself, running "ibus-setup" throws an error and doesn't start:
    (ibus-setup:2680): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.freedesktop.ibus.general.xkblayoutconfig' is not installed
I have no idea why. I haven't tried compiling without the patch.
So, if this patch is considered, it should be carefully tested. And I also don't know if this could affect other desktop environments negatively.
But the main idea of the patch is setting that dconf setting to true.

* This bug should be added to the 14.04 release notes. (Can/should I edit it myself?)
