ibus question

[Linda]

I just moved from Unbuntu 12.04 LTS  to Lubuntu 14.04 LTS 
and had trouble with Inkscape freezing when you entered 
text. The working solution is to change preferences > 
language support to Keyboard input method from ibus to none.
The thread on IBUS Keyboard input issue might force us to 
abandon Lubuntu along with this problem made me wonder if 
this is also some how connected to another problem I have 
with some users being unable to use their keyboard number 
pad when accessing via Teamviewer so I'm wondering what 
would happen if I just removed the ibus package and the 
gir1.2-ibus-1.0 package.
My kids use my computer to do Latin, Spanish and Italian. 
Everyone else only uses English
So does anyone know if it will break things to remove these?
               Thanks
                Linda
