rxvt works well here with kinput2.

I use Canna35b2, kinput2-v3.1-alpha1, and rxvt-2.7.3, all compiled
from source. I configured rxvt with:

    ./configure  --prefix=/opt/stow/rxvt-2.7.3 --enable-everything --enable-languages --enable-xim --enable-xterm-scroll

and started kinput2 with:

    /usr/bin/X11/kinput2 -xim -kinput -canna &

Yes, for rxvt it is necessary to set XMODIFIERS="@example.com=kinput2". I
missed this for quite some time because Japanese input in kterm,
XEmacs, and Mozilla all worked fine without setting XMODIFIERS,
therefore I assumed that there was something wrong with rxvt. But I
was mistaken, since I did set XMODIFIERS, Japanese input in rxvt works
just fine.
