     You can start kinput2 and set the XMODIFERS Environment from your .xinitrc
     (or .xsession if you use Debian). If you always want to use Japanese
     you can set this in your .xinitrc too.
     However, my (Debian) startx manual page states that .xinitrc is only used by
     startx/xinit and ignored by xdm (which I would assume includes kdm/gdm).
     
     If your Distro is Japanese-Enabled it may do these Settings automatically
     if you set your Systems default Language to Japanese.

Supposedly the distribution is Japanese-enabled, with Japanese set as 
the default locale/language. But I still had to enable Japanese for 
Netscape separately as per your example. When I get a chance, I'll probe 
around in the various settings to see what gives.
