Due to that: no chance for IM controlling part of our stack. We control the IM.

Probably I think this way would not work with IBus.
Each IBus IME are called by IBus dbus method. You hardly ask each IME
maintainer to change the protocol.
IBus daemon would be the controller of IBUs IMEs.

I think I need to describe in a better way how I envision the future architecture.

I want to have the IM daemon merged into the wayland compositor. So KWin would talk directly with the IM through library calls and the composed text would be sent from KWin to the application through the Wayland text-input protocol.

I want to eliminate the IPC between applications and IM daemon.

If we are going to touch this code we can strive for the best solution and not keep stuck on the approach used on X11. And yes that might need adjusting the IMEs. But they need to be adjusted anyway. We wouldn't have this discussion if it would just work on Wayland.
