I have a small script in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60uim-xim:

case "$LANG" in
	ja_JP*)
		export XMODIFIERS=@im=uim-anthy
		exec uim-xim </dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 &
		;;
	*)
		;;
esac

It "works for me"(tm), and something like this could be used to
initialize a "default" IM environment. Obviously, the best solution
would be to have an IM selection dialog after the language selection
("You might want an IM here as well").

GDM has some support for loading IM modules, which is intended for
accessibility and does not make much sense for CJK input since usernames
and passwords are not meant to be anything else than ASCII.
