You can start kinput2 and set the XMODIFERS Environment from your .xinitrc
(or .xsession if you use Debian). If you always want to use Japanese
you can set this in your .xinitrc too.
However, my (Debian) startx manual page states that .xinitrc is only used by
startx/xinit and ignored by xdm (which I would assume includes kdm/gdm).

If your Distro is Japanese-Enabled it may do these Settings automatically
if you set your Systems default Language to Japanese.

IIRC when I once looked at some X init files on Solaris they were checking
for a .xinputrc file to be present and invoking that one too.

So it seems the right way to do this is distribution specific.

I'm going to put these settings into the /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ Directory now.
