Assuming that your requrement are to input Japanese at the English desktop, right? then you can add Japanese at gimlet's Add or Remove Language dialog - try to press the left button at gimlet icon and choose Add or Remove item - and choose Japanese from language menu on gimlet. icon should be changed to Ja. If you think that changing it from gimlet is annoying, you can put LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 into $HOME/.i18n instead. Regards, -- Akira TAGOH
