  Did you check Atok for linux? It can be used like a Windows IME.

  BTW I have used canna both of windows and linux box. It's pretty better for emacian
than IME. Indeed, Canna can not have ability of checking and correcting
misspelling/awkward phrasing. In addition, you needs to convert each word to
kanji word if you get a result which you want. However, it is not hell on native.
In fact it is useful as mixing Kanji and English.
