Examples would help. kinput2 or im-ja? canna or wnn? etc.

Please read Scott's page on Japanese input:

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

which is linked off our documents page:

http://www.tlug.jp/docs.php

This page contains a *lot* of information! For example, I found out that
Scott Robbins wrote gjiten, though he claims to not be a coder! :)

(Attention Kitano-san: I edited docs.html.en and docs.html.ja to fix
 this--B0ti is now listed (properly) as the author of Gjiten, the link
 takes you to the Gjiten home page at SourceForge.)

Firefox is also an X11 program, since GTK is just an abstraction layer
on top of the native X11 libraries (with which only Steve Turnbull and
Jim Breen are man enough to do battle; the rest of us turn tail and run
at the merest *mention* of the fearsome beast). XMODIFIERS can potent-
ially affect *any* X11 program, GTK, KDE, or not.
