plasma-widget-kimpanel can work with multiple input methods. Scim is one of them.
Ibus is supported by starting kimpanel with --ibus, AFAIK. There is a README somewhere in the source code IIRC.

To determine the input method to use, look into ~/.xinput.d/${LOCALE}. That is a symlink to IM specific files in /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/. What ever is linked there is the IM of choice.

For Karmic the default ought to be 'ibus'
The IM itself is started in Xsession.d/, so it should be available before kimpanel fires up.
