This bus has been reintroduced in Ubuntu Karmic. I can confirm it happens in any out-of-the-box installation, and I can also confirm that it's not scim related, since scim is not even installed!

The steps are the same as in the first post:
Install any non-gnome app (such as kate), and try to write an accented letter. It will write ´a instead of á.

You can check this with any keyboard, just make sure you have selected spanish layout.

As an additional information, I enable complex writing with Alt-º and if I try that combination inside kate it does work, but it writes a º as well. Also, I can write 日本語 (japanese) and ελλινικα (greek) within Kate without problems.

I haven't tried installing scim, since I fear it might spoil the ibus interface (this ibus thing is completely new to me).
