Description of problem:
The ibus icon in the panel is not obvious and hard for first-time users to
understand.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start fedora desktop with ibus
2. try to find out how to control IM

Actual results:
2. The current icon has no obvious connection with keyboard or input other than
'i'.

Expected results:
Clearer icon which new users can quickly recognise as for inputs.

Additional info:
Actually I would like to change the panel UI so that it more obvious what the
current input method is when ibus is off.

eg It could show a cross over the IME icon to show that IM is off,
a bit like gnome-power-manager's inhibit applet for example.
Or maybe we don't need custom icons for IMEs and just use
a character for each IME to represent it and display that in the applet.
