"While in Japan I brought back (amongst other stuff) a 106key
j-keyboard. I was wondering under X can I enable the 'deadkeys' on it so
kinput can use the kana-converter buttons to do what they were actually
made for?"

The ironic thing about the Japanese keyboard is that - unless you use it
for direct input of hiragana - most of those keys go unused, even when
writing Japanese!  After using only Japanese keyboards for over six
years, I switched over to an English 101 (without those #$%& Windows
keys) and was pleasantly surprised to find that it's actually better for
writing Japanese with!  There are fewer unused keys to accidentally
hit....
