Yes, really, Ed --- I believe you could get more help on this if you give some

Looking around via yum, it seems that I do have an "ibus" package installed by
default from F16 KDE Live, but it doesn't seem to be active on my system. What
should I do to turn it on and test the system tray icon?

OK.....

First, the cryptic stuff.... IBus means Intelligent Input Bus. It is an
input framework for Linux.

To enable IBus on KDE, GNOME probably has a similar setting (I think it
works OK in GNOME), using the classic tree style menu you go to
"Settings" and pick "Input Method Selector". From there you pick "Use
IBus". And you logout and log back in.

That's it...
