So now my /etc/xdg/autostart/ibus.desktop is patched like this: --- /root/ibus-autostart.desktop 2022-07-19 17:06:19.120630687 +0200 +++ /etc/xdg/autostart/ibus-autostart.desktop 2022-07-20 21:14:23.602093124 +0200 @@ -8,8 +8,9 @@ Type=Application StartupNotify=false NoDisplay=true -X-GNOME-Autostart-Phase=Applications X-GNOME-AutoRestart=false X-GNOME-Autostart-Notify=false -X-KDE-autostart-after=panel +X-KDE-autostart-after=org.kde.plasmashell X-KDE-StartupNotify=false +X-KDE-autostart-phase=2 and what do you know, it works properly. I'll try the same on my laptop tomorrow, and if that works we'll have a patch that only applies to ibus for TW. I'll fork&build once I know.
