How can I run a non-interactive ibus-setup or fix this misconfiguration in ubuntu 16.04?

Question

Based on this answer I learned that somehow Ubuntu 16.04, after upgrading from 15.10, made accents stop working in all my applications, and that by running ibus-setup and accepting the dialogs would make the accents work again.

However I must run that command everytime I turn on my computer.

How can I (one of these two)...

Fix this so it works as it worked in 15.10, with no workaround?
Execute this command silently on my .bashrc? By silently I want to remark that the command should not expect input from user, but turn on ibus immediately for the keys to work.

Do you use multilanguage desktop? Have you tried disabling ibus? — Thiago Rider Augusto, Jul 08 '16 at 18:01
Could you check that you have ibus set in System settings > Language support > input method. so the system will start dbus daemon at boot. — user.dz, Jul 08 '16 at 22:16

ibus-setup does not change any setting but it will ask you to start ibus daemon if not already running.

So check:

System settings → Language support → input method: should be ibus

With that is set correctly, the system starts dbus daemon at boot without any user interaction.
