I could get rid of the 'Input Method Status' like this (I didn't wanted to change my locale, so I choose to remove the menu): 'Preferences' -> 'Desktop Preferences' -> 'Input Methods': Then tab 'General', section 'Display Input Method status': I switched the value for 'Placement' to 'Gnome Panel'. Thanks a lot!
