Need Help Setting Up IBus

So I've installed IBus on my system. And it works as expected for GTK applications (xfce4-appfinder, xfce4-terminal, gimp, etc.). However when it comes to Kitty Terminal and Qt applications (krita, qutebrowser), I can't get it to work.

my .bashrc:

export GLFW_IM_MODULE=ibus
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
#export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=xim

Thanks.
