I can not use ibus and fcitx under i3wm environment - dbus warning

Hi all,
I recently installed i3wm on my laptop. I've installed those packages listed in below:
- vim
- i3wm(all)
- xorg(all)
- sddm
- lxterminal
- wqy-microhei(font)
- caja
- dmenu
- ibus
- ibus-remi

I set environment for ibus in .xprofile

export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export SDK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus

LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=zh_CN:en_US

ibus-daemon -xd

then I started sddm and login my account
then I run

ibus-setup

this will help me add ibus-remi input method. BUT there is an WARN information in the terminal window:

failed to commit changes to dconf: Error spawning command line “dbus-launch --autolaunch=434dcf837d4b44449e8a59b999d629d7 --binary-syntax --close-stderr”: Child process exited with code 1

this made ibus wont store new input settings at all.

why is that? how to solve this problem? Did I miss any package that need to be installed before?

It will be gratitude for any help or advice.
pls help!
