Hello Lawrence,
Thank you for the response. Indeed, the applet *is* running:
/usr/libexec/gnome-im-switcher-applet
--oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_imswitcher_Factory --oaf-ior-fd=37
Starting gedit with GTK_IM_MODULE=iiim makes the IM switcher module
appear, and work as expected. Unfortunately, the main application that
I want to use Japanese input with is a Java application - it doesn't
look like Java (under the 1.5.0 beta runtime at least) supports iiim as
an input method. Both of the following failed:
GTK_IM_MODULE=iiim /usr/java/j2sdk1.5.0/jre/bin/javaws
/home/devans/.java/deployment/cache/javaws/http/Dfugutabetai.com/P80/DMsoftware/DMGMAO/DMcode/DMbug/AMGMAO.jnlp
LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 XMODIFIERS="@im=iiim"
/usr/java/j2sdk1.5.0/jre/bin/javaws
/home/devans/.java/deployment/cache/javaws/http/Dfugutabetai.com/P80/DMsoftware/DMGMAO/DMcode/DMbug/AMGMAO.jnlp
however, if I manually start up kinput2, the following works:
LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 XMODIFIERS="@im=kinput2"
/usr/java/j2sdk1.5.0/jre/bin/javaws
/home/devans/.java/deployment/cache/javaws/http/Dfugutabetai.com/P80/DMsoftware/DMGMAO/DMcode/DMbug/AMGMAO.jnlp
I really don't like using kinput2 though - iiim is much nicer. I
actually don't know too much about internationalization and linux (just
installed FC2 last week, and that is about the experience I have with
either of them) although I have tried to read up on things. It looks
like FC2 starts up canna and FreeWnn, which is what kinput2 is using via
XIM, which Java supports.
Is it possible to get iiim working with Java, or is that a Java issue?
If it isn't possible, is there a better conversion engine / backend
combo I can use with Java that at least pops up a graphical list like
iiim for choices? Should I be asking these questions somewhere else?
Thanks in advance, and I'm glad to see that the IM Switcher not
appearing in en_US environments bug will be fixed soon.

Hi Dave,
Check if the applet is running by looking at the processes running.
ps -aux |grep applet
If it is running,
/usr/libexec/gnome-im-switcher-applet
--oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_imswitcher_Factory --oaf-ior-fd=40
As you are in en_US locale, there are two way you can see the GIMLET.
Method 1:
GTK_IM_MODULE=iiim gedit (or any GTK application)
Method 2:
Right-click mouse in your GTK application and select IIIMF as your Input
Method.
Hope it helps,
Lawrence

Hello everyone,
I recently installed Fedora Core 2, and have been trying to get
Japanese input working under an English environment (en_US.UTF-8). When
I installed the system, I selected Japanese as a language that I wanted
to support. IIimf packages look like they are installed:
[devans@localhost devans]$ /sbin/service IIim status
htt (pid 2360) is running...
[devans@localhost devans]$ /sbin/service FreeWnn status
jserver (pid 2397) is running...
[devans@localhost devans]$ /sbin/service canna status
cannaserver (pid 2372) is running...
I think those are all the services that I need to have running - they
are all started automatically (good!) When I try to add the
"InputMethod switcher" applet to the panel, nothing happens. I'm not
sure if this is related to the nothing showing up on the IM Switcher
when in English bug that I've seen mentioned, but I can't get any sort
of Japanese input to work anyway.
What should I try next? I think I will install the newest RPMs from
http://www.apac.redhat.com/iiimftest/files/fc2/, but I would like to
figure out what is going wrong - I assume that a default install with
Japanese language support should at least have the IM switcher show up.
Any help?
