Yep. I got everything working as per Daniel's suggestion but had to
leave out the LC_CTYPE variable (otherwise everything was in English and
I couldn't enter Japanese input mode).
I tried getting SCIM working w/o luck though. I've never used UIM
before. It seems to work fine, but I wish it had some kind of
notification when I've entered Japanese input mode. Am I missing
something? SCIM has a nice bar that shows up as soon as you Shift-space.
