auto start problem with ibus

Hello lists,

Have any one tried ibus to start automatically with .icewm/startup ? I have put 

````````````````
ibus-daemon -xrd
```````````````````

at .icewm/startup but still icewm can't auto-start ibus. And *ps -e |grep ibus*  returns null. Though the same command from an xterm within icewm successfully starts ibus (appear at system tray). and *ps -e |grep ibus* confirms the same.

So what may be the problem with .icewm/startup here ? I have also introduces some delay as

``````````
sleep 3
ibus-daemon -xrd
sleep 5
```````````

but no success. any idea from anyone please ?

Thanks
