Well, for gnome-terminal Japanese input works fine for the just using 
the defaults. To make it do Japanese I simply select a suitable coding
from the menu (UTF8, EUC, etc.) And for input I select Japanese using
the Gimlet button on the panel.

I suspect that the (local) locale is being modified as I go. This is
fine. I certainly don't want a global setting to "ja_JP.UTF-8" which
would result from setting it in /etc/sysconfig/i18n.
