Thanks Andreas (and Marc for bringing the issue to attention).

I wasn't aware of this so I appreciate the question.

I have now enabled this option as well (can still be useful).

After a logout and login (lightdm) (the setting alerts when you "enable" that you have to logout/login) I observe 

[desktop/ibus/general]
version='1.5.25'
preload-engines=['xkb:fr::fra', 'xkb:es::spa']
engines-order=['xkb:es::spa', 'xkb:fr::fra']

in my dconf dump / > /tmp/backup  settings for french and spanish for example.

also lightdm seems to create a "mate-session" process which has started automatically : ibus-daemon --xim

    1430   mate-session
      1454   /usr/bin/ibus-daemon --xim
        1481   /usr/lib/ibus/amd64/ibus-dconf

Maybe I could add a screenshot of this in the user contributed documentation ...

The functionality is there but must be enabled ...

Regards,
David Stes
