IBus with LibreOffice in Minimal Linux Installations

Some people have been reporting trouble getting the IBus input bus to work properly with LibreOffice. This can particularly be a problem for anyone using a minimal Linux installation such as a minimal Ubuntu.

If you are using IBus in a minimal installation, and have problems getting the language bar to work, check to see if you have the ibus-gtk package installed. Installing the ibus-gtk package (and rebooting) should allow the language bar to appear, which will then allow you to choose one of the input methods that you have set up through IBus Preferences (which is brought up using the ibus-setup command).
