Use Anthy + UIM or SCIM for the best experience.

The easiest solution to get it all running on login is to make a .xsession 
file in your home, then insert bits you want in there. Mine looks like this:

export LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8
export XMODIFIERS=@im=uim
export GTK_IM_MODULE=uim
uim-xim&
startkde

You might have to change your 'session type' in your display manager to get it 
to run your .xsession.

If you want the input server to be running at the display manager, or for all 
users you'll probably have to dig around in /etc.

Cheers,
