Just now I (very unwisely) upgraded from Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 18.??
At least I think I did.
Naturally a great deal seems to have gone to custard.
My major concern is that of the subject line. I get a message to this effect when I log in with the advice to “fix this problem as soon as feasible”. Hah! If only I knew how.
Some googling revealed advice to the effect that : “As Mate isn’t use ibus, you just have to open language window and change input method to XIM. Problem solved!”
Well how do I “open language window”? From googling I saw
“go to the system menu at the top right corner of your screen and select System Settings as shown below. Then select Region & Language on the left of the items list to open the panel”
But I don’t have/can’t find a “System Settings” button, and nothing that I see looks anything like the illustrations shown.
Go to Preferences>>Language support, and hopefully you'll find the
option to change the input method...
Or open control center and there under personal section you'll find language support...
If even these don't work out, open up your terminal and type
|mate-control-center|...

Thanks. System -> Preferences -> Personal -> Language Support
worked. I switched "Keyboard input method system" to "XIM", as
previously advised, and the warning about "usr/bin/ibus-daemon" went away.
I have a bunch of other problems but these should be discussed under a
new topic.
I recommend to never upgrade from one LTS to another LTS. It never works properly, in my experience. Instead, copy all of your personal files to a memory stick and install the new LTS from scratch. In the long run, this is always quicker and less problematic.
Furthermore, for maximum stability, only install a new LTS when it has at least a year under its belt. By that time, all of the initial wrinkles should have been ironed out.

Sound advice I'm sure. Wish it had been available to me yesterday!
