[tlug] Japanese on CentOS4.1

[Mark Sargent <powderkeg@example.com>]

Hi All,

I followed the following,

http://www.qnd-guides.org/qnd-japanese.html

and installed scim, anthy and scim-anthy, all from source, and put this,

export XMODIFIERS='@example.com=SCIM'
export GT_IM_MODULE='scim'
export QT_IM_MODULE='scim'
export LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.utf8
scim -d


into my ~/.bash_profile and I'm seeing that the gnome-terminal is now 
using the fonts as if I'm running Japanese, but, when running an app, 
say Firefox or Thunderbird, I get nothing, with Ctrl+space. I was 
expecting to get something like it states on the page I'm following,

****
With scim anthy, hit ctl+space and you should see a little widget in the 
lower right of your screen. It should do the same thing, show hiragana. 
When you hit the space bar, kanji should be selected.
****

but I don't.

I've confirmed that scim is in fact running,

[batmanbegins@example.com ~]$ ps auxxx | grep scim
500       3379  0.0  0.9 29896 4648 ?        Ss   12:10   0:00 
/usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-launcher -d -c simple -e all -f socket
root      3830  0.0  0.9 28600 4648 ?        Ss   13:05   0:00 
/usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-launcher -d -c simple -e all -f socket
500       5201  0.0  0.1  5348  696 pts/1    R+   14:49   0:00 grep scim

[batmanbegins@example.com ~]$ ps auxxx | grep scim-anthy
500       5207  0.0  0.1  5048  708 pts/1    R+   14:50   0:00 grep 
scim-anthy

[batmanbegins@example.com ~]$ ps auxxx | grep anthy
500       5209  0.0  0.1  5548  704 pts/1    R+   14:51   0:00 grep anthy

and killed cannaserver,

[root@example.com ~]# pkill cannaserver
[root@example.com ~]# ps auxxx | grep cannaserver
root      5257  0.0  0.1  4680  712 pts/1    S+   14:57   0:00 grep 
cannaserver

Do I really need to remove it via yum, as suggested? I'm running 
Firefox/Thunderbird as the same user. I've also tried with uxterm, as 
the page suggests. What have I NOT done, that I should have.? Cheers.

Mark Sargent.
