I should admit that I was using kanjipad mainly and wasn't aware that
there are others. And kanjipad was already a gtk2 app, so it was fairly

The kanjipad in im-ja has been improved, but it still cannot recognize
kana.

I have found the qt version at
http://www.sikigami.com/cgi-bin/sikigami.com/anke-nnmqt1.0.cgi. 
and some more stuff at http://www.sikigami.com/~fuku/nnmnd/
I'll see what it can do.

If there is a gtk version, I'd appreciate a link to it.
