You should see an 'a', and when you switch into Japanese it should change to 
’あ’. Running the GTK systray has issues here, for instance when activate UIM; 
Instead of doing as I described.. it disappears. Maybe it doesn't like 
running in the KDE system tray? Have you tried the standalone GTK switcher? 

After reinstalling my laptop (don't buy anything made by Fujitsu-Siemens..) I 
noticed that SCIM/m17n actually comes with a setup script to configure your X 
environment. So, If all else fails you could try SCIM again. ^_^
