Do you use GNOME3/GDM3?  (This does not use ibus-setup but use javascript
program to set parameters.)

Is the content of the /etc/X11/default-display-manager file to be
/usr/sbin/gdm3

If not, try and check situation with these, please.

Also some ibus modules seems to set keyborard to en_US etc. without
respecting the system default.
