I only occasionally need to input Japanese text, so I don't have any global
setting like that, only a script I run from the command line when needed,
which sets:

kinput2 -canna -xim -kinput &
export LANG=ja_JP; export LC_ALL=ja_JP;export XMODIFIERS="@im=kinput2"

After that I launch the browser (actually, it is launched by the same
script). It works with galeon at least. I think I've tried with firefox, but
not sure now.
