Help -- I can't seem to get this working.  I've been trying
to get aterm working with Kanji input all evening and feel
as close now as I did 5 hours ago.

I know I have the basic environment working right because
kterms and xterm's started from this window work fine.  For
that matter, so does open office.

When I hit shift-space the kinput2 window comes up fine and
when I type into it, hiragana appears as expected but when I
hit return, I get garbage (I've forgotten the term you use
for it) in the terminal window.

I'm on a SuSE 9.0 system with aterm 0.4.2.

The docs and the man page mention a ./configure file and
I've added just --enable-xim and --enable-kanji and
--enable-xim=yes and --enable-kanji=yes all with the same
result.  This is an rpm based system and I don't know how to
configure from the install.

I looked through the docs in /usr/share/doc/packages/aterm
and googled and am out of ideas.  Do you guys yave any
suggestions?

Thanks
