Try using Wnn, it's generally known to be better. (Though as soon as you 
enable it it's gonna be a nightmare to select what kana you want to 
convert to kanji. I'm not sure they actually used their brains when they 
made it. RTFM and all that.)

Also, when starting kinput2 with wnn, you need to specify a paramenter 
called -wnnenvrc that points to your wnnenvrc file. It's just like that. 
And that's the way it is. :P
