If you did the standard RedHat install and checked off Japanese, you 
should have everything you need -
I've got the following lines in my ~/.bashrc to set up the input and 
everything the way that's most useful to me:

  	export LANG=ja_JP;
  	export XMODIFIERS="@example.com=kinput2";
  	export LC_MESSAGES=en_US ;
  	exec kinput2 -canna &
(You could put those in any shell script, of course.  To invoke JP 
input, type shift+Space, or 'Uppercase Space' as I like to call it...)

The first couple of lines are self-explanatory.  The third tells the 
apps to still use English for the menus and dialogs and such and the 
last gets kinput2 going.
I typically install KDE in addition to Gnome, so if the 'k' in kinput2 
stands for KDE rather than Kanji, you might have to install some extra 
libs.  I just checked - it stands for Kanji, not KDE, though it is an 
X-only app, which means you'll get an error if you log in over ssh 
without telling it to forward X. (Do 'ssh -X your.remote.host' and it 
should work.)

If you prefer Japanese in as the main language in the interface, of 
course comment out the third line.  I like it since it tells sylpheed 
to enable Japanese where needed - Your emails and such should still 
display without mojibake either way.
Also, there are some other kinput2 options you may want to look at in 
the man page.
Hope this is of use to you -
Cheers,
Jim

(Yes, it's me - I've decided to come back on the list. Hope that's OK 
with everyone.)
