This does not work in Fence mode, but does work in nihongo normal mode
on SunOS 4.1.3-JLE1.1.3 with Mule 2.2 "Wakamurasaki".  I don't have
Wnn installed on linux, so I can't test it.

Try C-H k C-^ in Mule and see if (a) it's defined (b) your terminal is
generating the correct keysym.

In Canna-Mule, the Insert key brings up  menu, and this works in
kterm-XIM-kinput2-Canna as well.  Try that.

Try M-: "(featurep egg)" (or M-ESC if you have Emacs 19.28 or
previous) and see if EGG is actually being loaded from the .el file.

C-\ "ten" SPC RET works on Canna (as does "yuubin" henkan); as usual
the Wnn server on SunkOS refuses to talk to my Mule, so I can't test
it there.

Could be a JE problem, though---you're a Debian kinda guy, right,
Steve?  Are you using JE, Dennis (I think you mentioned Slackware is
your base distribution)?
