It appeared on *all* my systems when I upgraded to 14.04 so I think it
possibly is a bug if it wasn't intended.

Can I delete all packages related to IBus, there's quite a few in
addition to the basic bits that get removed when you remove IBus
itself. E.g. I still have:-
    ibus-gtk
    libibus-1.0-5
    python-ibus
