Try:

$ gconf-editor
desktop|ibus|panel|uncheck 'show_icon_on_systray

BTW: you may have gconf-editor in Applications|System
Tools|Configuration Editor
already. The menu may be hidden, so right click on Applications & click
'Edit Menus', go to 'System Tools' and if you see 'Configuration Editor'
unchecked, check it. That way you don't have to run from the terminal.
