Bug Description

In Kubuntu 14.10 Plasma 5, a system icon of iBus is not displayed.
I installed Kubuntu 14.10 Plasma 5 in Japanese (日本語).
Because iBus-Anthy is installed then,
I change it to Anthy in Super+Space and can perform Japanese input again.
but systray does not have an icon, and a big problem occurs in operability.

This problem is one of the side effects of systray of Plasma 5 having changed the specifications:

As for this problem, solution was carried out on the iBus side:

https://code.google.com/p/ibus/issues/detail?id=1749

but the problem that a system icon is not displayed is continued while iBus is installed when I installed Kubuntu 15.04 in Japanese.
Therefore I report this comment and maintain current status.

The live boot of Kubuntu 15.04 displays a status icon of iBus.
Therefore a problem unlike Kubuntu 14.10 Plasma 5 may occur.

It looks ibus 1.5.11 fixed quite some KF5 compatibility problems, let's see what happens after we update to it.
