[SOLVED] ibus pop-up input won't appear

I'm trying to install ibus-uniemoji-git from the AUR, but can't get ibus to work. I followed the instructions in the Arch wiki.

ibus appears to work on one level. `ibus-setup` works fine, and I can select inputs. In my text editor, I can then switch between English and (say) Arabic. Input changes as expected. However, after selecting Uniemoji, text just appears as normal, with no pop-up appearing.

I then tested Chinese Pinyin, by installing `ibus-libpinyin` and switching. Again, there is no pop-up that appears.

All packages are up-to-date.
KDE Plasma 5.7.3-1
ibus 1.5.14-1
ibus-qt 1.3.3-6
ibus-libpinyin 1.7.92-1
ibus-uniemoji 0.5.0-3

Re: [SOLVED] ibus pop-up input won't appear

Some of these packages were recently upgraded, but I still am having this problem.

* KDE Plasma 5.7.4-2
* libpinyin 1.6.0-1

==EDIT==
Hm, it seems I just needed to follow this section, i.e. add `export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus` to `~/.xprofile`. This is despite "normal" ibus input working without this fix. I've edited the wiki to be a little clearer.
