Found that ibus-daemon was not started. Tested with logging in to both a Xubuntu and a Cinnamon session.
Actually I tried to use i3 too, but the barrier to set it up proved to be high, and I'm not willing to spend the time needed for that.
So even if GDM is used as login manager, it's unlikely that the presence of the systemd service files interferes with the IBus setup for non-GNOME sessions.
It's possible that there is some issue with how i3 interacts with ibus or im-config or both, and I'd say that the i3 maintainers should better get involved if the intention is that input methods can be conveniently configured also with i3. Marked this bug as affecting i3.
