I'm not sure if I see what you mean, if you can input any Japanese after you press ctrl+space, it's the right way to do. If you need to do change the language on gimlet for inputting Japanese and want it by default, you need to set LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 in /etc/sysconfig/i18n or ~/.i18n. Japanese will be default after restarting your desktop session then. -- Akira TAGOH
