Well why do you want to kill ibus anyway? The above is what it
does, it handles you keyboard layout and input methods so if you
kill it of course that will break. ibus is installed by default
with the Xfce pattern, if you don't want to use it you can of
course deinstall it and set the keyboard layout per-user in the
Xfce Keyboard settings or system-wide via the YaST "System
Keyboard Layout" module but you will loose input methods.
