Ok so the problem was not that Partha did not know how to use an input method to output Japanese, it was that he knew how, but that it worked everywhere but in GIMP? That was not clear. Partha, did you compile GTK+ yourself? If so, ensure that --with-included-immodules=yes was set. Note that reading the configure.ac, it should normally be set by default (unless for instance you also --disable-modules). But well, make it a clear configure option to be double sure. If even with this, that's still not working, but it's working everywhere else, well maybe there is a broken support of input methods for OSX in GTK+? Try another GTK+ app and check if you can write text through an input method engine there. Have fun.
