In Lucid, I need to install plasma-widget-kimpanel-backend-ibus, and then still have to create this KDE autostart script to use KIMPanel with ibus:

cat > ~/.kde/Autostart/reload-ibus-daemon <<EOF
#!/bin/sh
ibus-daemon --replace --xim --deamon --panel=/usr/lib/ibus/ibus-ui-kde
EOF
chmod +x ~/.kde/Autostart/reload-ibus-daemon

I can run im-switch -c and choose ibus-kde to start ibus with the correct command now, but KIMPanel does not appear to communicate with ibus, unless ibus-daemon is started after KDE loads, thus the autostart script. I'm doing basically the same thing as RK described in #8, but I am not experiencing the problems he or she described.
