As pointed out by Gunnar, ibus upstream started to include XKB
layouts into it recently.
Well, no. simple.xml has been there since 2012.
I saw Antoine forcing to use xim by setting GTK_IM_MODULE
environment variable to xim instead of ibus. I now know his
motivation. But ibus library to use xim as its input path will cause
trouble since this is buggy.
My understanding is that this bug is not related to the issue with the
candidate window and/or the IM configuration. simple.xml provides a
bunch of "engines" to allow the user to pick certain XKB layouts via
ibus-setup along with IBus IMs, and then use IBus to switch between
them. The problem is that simple.xml only includes a subset of the
layouts in xkb-data.
I'd say that the problem is upstream in nature, which is why I suggested
that the bug reporter also submits an upstream issue.
