What I am looking for now, and I hope this isn't off topic for this list, is a tool like my roommate has on her WinXP machine where I can free-draw a kanji character and the program tries to match it and provide a list of options (and if I am really lucky has the pronunciation and meaning).
Such free software exists but it is not included in Fedora currently. eg <http://fishsoup.net/software/kanjipad/> would probably be nice to add to Extras.
As an aside, I have also been trying to find a way to make Japanese the default input method in iiimf. Gimlet currently defaults to English but seeing as I can toggle between kana/kanji and romanji with <ctrl>+<space> I'd rather leave it as Japanese.
I'm planning to improve this in a future version. In the meantime for the current session you can change the way new apps choose their language with the gnome-im-properties utility. Jens
