Did yo start kinput with the option -xim ?

(I usually use 'kinput2 -xim -kinput -canna').

Do you have the Japanese locale definitions installed? Check this
with:

    mfabian@example.com:~$ find /usr/share/locale/ja*
    [...]
    /usr/share/locale/ja_JP
    /usr/share/locale/ja_JP/LC_COLLATE
    /usr/share/locale/ja_JP/LC_CTYPE
    /usr/share/locale/ja_JP/LC_MESSAGES
    /usr/share/locale/ja_JP/LC_MESSAGES/SYS_LC_MESSAGES
    /usr/share/locale/ja_JP/LC_MONETARY
    /usr/share/locale/ja_JP/LC_NUMERIC
    /usr/share/locale/ja_JP/LC_TIME
    [...]

If you are missing the above files and only see some *.mo files, you
are missing the Japanese locale.


Also try to set the environment variable XMODIFIERS before starting
mozilla:

    export XMODIFIERS=@example.com=kinput2

If I remember it right, Mozilla doesn't care for XMODIFIERS,
but some other programs do, so better set it.
