On an install (Kubuntu) that had been working for some time, Japanese
input suddenly stopped working, until I selected another input method
than Anthy (I need to check which one it was).  On that particular
install, in desperation, I installed a lot of Japanese input related
things, including two or three different methods than Anthy.  I'm away
from that machine at the moment, but in any case, its current status
is Anthy-dead (for unknown reason), and [some other] input method
working.  There seems to be ever more black magic involved in getting
Japanese input to work....
