I accidentally deleted Dave's post, so the headers will be incorrect
here, sorry all.  I'm cutting and pasting from the web archives.

The only thing I can think of here is doing what you did, making sure
you click OK or apply first, if there is  such a button, then closing
openoffice.  Then, open it again.  

As for Japanese input not taking hold, it might be that for whatever
reason, the settings you wish aren't being applied.   Does the applet
show?  Are you able to do anything with it?

I really don't use uim-anthy  save in NetBSD.  You could try starting
the application with (assuming that Dapper calls it soffice)

XMODIFIERS="@example.com=uim" LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 soffice 

and see if it works. 

Looking at my own page, I see that there is now a scim-anthy package for
Ubuntu. You might have better luck with that.  In that case, you'd put
the XMODIFIERS and the rest in your .bash_profile. 

(It would also solve your other problem, which I haven't pasted in here,
of using shift+space--scim-anthy uses ctl+space by default.)
