I'm on ubuntu 10.10 and when I uncheck the "show icon on system tray icon" on the ibus setup window, it disappears without a problem. But after reboot, the icon reappears on notification bar, even if the option above is unchecked. I even checked gconf, but can't find a solution.

I have the same problem : click on the icon, «Settings», check and uncheck «Show icon on systray».
(The gconf key is : /desktop/ibus/panel/show_icon_on_systray)
This is really a bug, because it appear on startup while the key is set to false.
You can execute this in a script, at startup for instance :
gconftool --type boolean -s /desktop/ibus/panel/show_icon_on_systray true
gconftool --type boolean -s /desktop/ibus/panel/show_icon_on_systray false

Name: Ibus
Command: ibus-daemon -rd
Comment: Hide ibus icon.

Its not designed to be disappeared. If you don't need it, you shall remove it through Software Center.

It works for me, so obviously this is a bug on your system. You can try running ubuntu-bug ibus or ubuntu-bug ibus-daemon (I might have gotten the name of the ubuntu-bug process wrong, so if I did, you can go straight to launchpad.net).
The folks on launchpad will help you determine if there is a problem with your system, or if it is just a built in bug in the code that was overlooked.
