If you use GNOME, ibus-unikey should work once IBus is configured correctly.

If you use KDE, some additional configuration is needed:

1. Add

   export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
   export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
   export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
   

into $HOME/.profile.

2. Make ibus-daemon start automatically with the right configuration:

   $ echo "ibus-daemon -d -x -r -n kde" > $HOME/.kde/Autostart/ibus-daemon-autostart.sh && chmod +x $HOME/.kde/Autostart/ibus-daemon-autostart.sh
