Why don't you write a quicky shell script:

#!/bin/bash
LANG=ja_JP XMODIFIERS=@example.com=kinput2 /usr/bin/mozilla

And then use the shell script to start Mozilla, either by typing it
into the launcher dialogue, or by creating a shortcut on your desktop.
The latter is the strategy I use for making all of the apps my wife
uses able to input Japanese.

You could presumably do the same thing for GNOME terminal.
