Maybe today's preferred way to find the setup executable is reading
ibus-setup-<engine>.desktop, as gnome-control-center does[1].  Most of
major engines have shipped the file these days, e.g.:

https://github.com/ibus/ibus-m17n/blob/master/src/ibus-setup-m17n.desktop.in.in
https://github.com/choehwanjin/ibus-hangul/blob/master/setup/ibus-setup-hangul.desktop.in

Unfortunately ibus-setup doesn't seem to support it yet, but the patch
should be fairly simple.

Regards,
