Shawn answered in part--don't know if you've seen my page on this whole
thing at

http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/jpninpt.html   

I haven't had that trouble with the return that you mention, and as
Shawn said, a script is usually the easiest way to get these things
working.

One bit of advice for future posts, it helps to know what distribution
of Linux that you're using, as many distributions have their own little
variations. 

It's gotten far easier than it used to be. I remember when I first began
with Linux,  when Mr. Oda's howto was the way to do it, and even a
grouch like Mr. Byrne told me not to feel badly about being intimidated
by that howto.  It's still not quite as easy as Mac, or even MS at this
point (imho around Win2k, MS pretty much came up to Mac's level with
Japanese input, though alt+~ is a more awkward key combo than Mac's
command space.

For the heck of it, I'm going to recommend switching from kterm to rxvt
(and others would probably recommend mlterm).  However, that of course,
is personal taste.

Anyway, hope the page mentioned above helps you with the problem with
Mozilla and Evolution.
