I did the lazy thing and trashed my first installation and
re-installed Debian as a clean install in Japanese.  English menus
would have been more to my liking, but this works and Japanese input
is working fine これは日本語なのじゃ！ 万歳！！, although I would prefer
[Ctrl]+[Space] rather than [Shift]+[Space] to toggle into and out of
Japanese input.

It's easy to find applications with the drop-down menu from アプリケーション
as well.  Interesting that Debian is now much easier to use than
Ubuntu!
