I'm running Gentoo, and my desktop environment is KDE 3.5.10 with Icewm
1.3.6 (unstable) as WM. So, a little unusual perhaps :-)  And of course
with Gentoo it's hard to know exactly what state the machine in
question is in...

I just found that it's not working in OOo, although IIRC scim had always
done so in the past even when it (scim) wouldn't work in QT apps.  In
Gentoo there's a binary package of OOo in addition to the source
package. I have a vague memory of some functional difference between the
two, and it might have been that Japanese input didn't work in the
binary version. I had been using the source version, but it takes so
&*@example.com&$^!@example.com&^#!*@example.com LONG to build (even on a 1.8 GHz dual core), that I've
gone back to the binary one. Oh well.

Japanese input always works in Firefox. Good ol' Firefox. Maybe I can
just write my 日本語 Skype chats in a web page form field, then cut/paste
them into Skype :-)
