Description:
Actually, Kimpanel is built with scim backend only, I think you should add ibus backend, as ibus is way much better.

Additional info:
* actual version and kde-unstable version
This task depends upon

I think this is included in the kde 4.5 builds,a atleast the ibus does show up in kimpanel

Still exist in 4.5.3.
something like this has to be added to PKGBUILD
install -m755 $srcdir/$_pkgbase-$pkgver/applets/kimpanel/backend/ibus/panel.py ${pkgdir}/usr/share/ibus/ui/qt/
install -m644 $srcdir/$_pkgbase-$pkgver/applets/kimpanel/backend/ibus/qtpanel.xml ${pkgdir}/usr/share/ibus/component

The problem still exists in KDE 4.6.0.

Would be great if this simple change could be made to the kimpanel PKBUILD, as scim is now obsolete/deprecated and ibus the way to go.

Please note that I was able to run kimpanel with ibus with the following workaround: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IBus#Kimpanel

However, I'm not sure what's the best way to patch kdeplasma-addons package. I attached a kdeplasma-addons-applets-kimpanel.install for review.
Also, the package_kdeplasma-addons-applets-kimpanel section of kdeplasma-addons PKGBUILD should be modified to add ibus-qt as an opt dependency and the 2 files mentioned above by Jesse Jaara. See the attached PKGBUILD patch.

kdeplasma-addons-applets-kimpanel 4.7.95-2 in [kde-unstable] still does not include the ibus backend. However, when downloading the PKGBUILD from abs and building without modification, it does build and install the ibus backend, because the build system detects that ibus is installed on my system. So I think the only needed modification would be to add ibus to makedepends for the PKGBUILD (currently scim already is).

Also the ibus backend has changed from the python script refered to in the previous comment to a C program. It can still be quickly built from the kdeplasma source with:

gcc `pkg-config --cflags --libs ibus-1.0 glib-2.0` kdeplasma-addons-4.7.95/applets/kimpanel/backend/ibus/{main,panel}.c -o kimpanel-ibus-panel

However just rebuilding the package from PKGBUILD with ibus installed would be more robust, although much slower.
