Thanks Giuliano, I'm on Kubuntu 14.04 with, AFAIK, the default desktop.
I don't have that choice in my settings. On my system ibus is very well
hidden (i've looked in all the most likely places) which is why it is so
frustrating. I'll pull through  ;-)

Kubuntu stands for K(de)Ubuntu, meaning that your desktop is KDE.

It would appear that the iBus on Ubuntu 14.04 is rather broken:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/1284635

Possible solutions:

1) In Ubuntu 14.04 you should have a System settings->language support->Keyboard input method which you should set to =none.

2) You should have an icon in your system tray showing the Ibus:

But as they followed the idiotic Micro$oft way, it may be hidden, and accessible via the almost invisible up arrow, showing the hidden items.
If not, you can set up Ibus to show the icon by invoking "ibus-setup" from command line, and checking the "Show on system tray" (or something like that) checkbox.
Once you have the icon, you may right click on it and select "exit".
Or take the brute-force approach and from command line "killall ibus-daemon"

In both cases, you'll get rid of ibus just for the current session.

Once you see that deactivating doesn't remove any function you need, to deactivate it permanently.
Again two solutions:

1) you might attempt to find out which start-up script launches it, and edit it.

2) take the brute-force approach:
sudo apt-get remove ibus
