It's not optimal.  :-)

I think that XEmacs does lazy initialization (ie, it doesn't look for
Wnn until it's requested via C-\).  You should be able to do "C-X C-M
C-\ japanese-skk RET C-X C-M C-\ japanese-wnn RET" and reinitialize
Wnn.  But I don't know for sure.  (The "japanese-skk" is irrelevant,
just changes the input method so you can try to reinit Wnn-egg.)

I bet it can be done, but probably not without messing around, and
maybe not without a patch to the underlying C code.
