I think I'll hang w/UIM.  It'll be good to try something new.  I do have
uim-applet-gnome installed, but I'm not sure if it's doing its thing.
Here's what I see:
http://epierce.freeshell.org/misc/uim.png

I tried running 'uim-toolbar-gtk-systray' from the command line, but I
don't see anything happening (i.e., something in the tray, etc.).  It'd
be nice to get some indication (somewhere) that I've entered Japanese
input mode.

Here's all the UIM friends that I have available.
uim-candwin-gtk          uim-helper-server        uim-toolbar-gtk
uim-dict-gtk             uim-im-switcher-gtk      uim-toolbar-gtk-systray
uim-fep                  uim-pref-gtk             uim-xim
uim-fep-tick             uim-sh


Thanks for reading.  Any advice is much obliged.
