Ralf, I think you can uninstall ibus safely, unless you use it for e.g. writing simplified chinese, then you would also need e.g. the ibus-sunpinyin from AUR or something similar. I'm guessing it was installed in the past on your system as a dependency of a AUR package where the AUR packager uses ibus to write his native language.
