Hrmm--I just tried unmerging my version (the old one) and
re-emerging--same problem as before, it can't find a canna library.

I think for the moment, I'm going to stand by my advice to emerge it
immediately after emerging X.  

I did on this install, since I've put so much extra junk in this one
that I was planning to redo it from scratch anyway.  :)

This one has kde (which I no longer put in, as I find myself never
using it, or anything from it.)  I still think there may be some issue
with the qt libraries, as the times when it didn't work were always
after putting in KDE.   

This seems to be the problem

/lib kinput2.o ../lib/libKi2.a ../lib/imlib/libim.a  -lcanna16  -lXaw
-lXmu -lXt -lSM -lICE -lXext -lX11 -L/usr/X11R6/lib     
/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lcanna16
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [kinput2] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/var/tmp/portage/kinput2-3.1_beta4/work/kinput2-v3.1-beta4/cmd'

Then, the same thing that I wrote about privately, that it doesn't
install the application.

Despite this problem, I still think you did a great job--when I
install it shortly after installing X it works absolutely perfectly
