OK, so I can stoke up daemons in there. I added:
/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d canna start
to the end of that file, and I now have canna launched at boot time.

scim is being launched OK, and I suspect it's being started
as part of X's initialization.

[I have had an interesting few days with the EeePC. One frustration
is the simplistic desktop, and on Friday I came across some
instructions on how to change it to a full desktop. See:
http://www.downloadsquad.com/2007/11/06/eee-pc-tips-a-crash-course-in-linux/

I went ahead with this and it totally blew away my desktop. I ended
up doing a total re-install (the EeePC has a read-only partition for this)
I was so annoyed I had to put it away for a few days to cool down. I got
it out this morning and (re)installed scim, anthy, etc. and I'm on my
way back to where I was.]

Thanks everyone for the help.

Jim
