You forgot to include what you put in your .bashrc. 
Just because it works with mozilla doesn't mean it's perfect.

I guess this doesn't mean hiragana shows up properly.

gtk1/gnome1 is a bit broken in this viewpoint. You will have to tweak your
gtkrc.ja a little to change fonts. Using the gnome-control-center for
changing fonts won't work with Japanese (at least for me it doesn't).

I'm also interested in configuring fontsets (with Japanese) for
gnome2/gtk2, someone maybe can shed some light on pangox.aliases or
whatever. 

From the apps it seems that you use KDE. 
There is a webpage of a listmember about Japanese&KDE, though I don't know
the url. But now that the archives work...
