Wnn6 is probably fine, but I've never tried it and have no idea if
it's worth it.  The main user problems I've encountered with Wnn have
to do with permissions getting out of whack for reasons noone could
ever explain to me; however, that was SunOs, I've never used it on a
Linux system (where I could not get Wnn to work at first, Canna worked
immediately, and I never went back, except to help friends compile
it).

My guess is that gaijin probably break phrases in sufficiently awkward 
places that Wnn6 is no big improvement over Wnn4 for us.  But that's
pure speculation, and Canna 3.2 or 3.5 is all I've ever needed.
