Thanks for the help. Here are responses to some of the comments and
information people have provided so far:

I followed what was in Scott's instructions and put the following in my
environment:
	export XMODIFIERS='@example.com=SCIM'
	export GTK_IM_MODULE="scim"
	export QT_IM_MODULE="scim"
	export LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.utf8

My LANG is
	LANG=en_US.UTF-8
I read somewhere that this should work. Anybody else know? I'll try changing it.

I don't remember if Japanese support was installed originally on the
workstation I'm using. I suppose not since I did add some things so that
I could read Japanese.

I'm trying to put it on my own workstation as a test. The final goal is
to install it on a remote machine for someone doing some translating.
That machine was apparently set up with Japanese support during the
original installation.

I had the impression that even if Japanese support was included in the
original installation, only display of Japanese text would work while
input support would still require additional setup.

Anything fairly basic - only OpenOffice will be used, and maybe
Evolution.

As far as I know. I'll try again today.

I'll make some notes when I try again.

I'll check that.

I did that.

No terminal needed, just OpenOffice & Evolution.

Copied right out of your instructions.

ctrl+space never did anything.

Thanks for all the info so far. I'll try again today with the new
information and report back how it goes.

I'll look into the diff info that Jim provided as well to make sure I'm
not missing something.
