Is there a HOWTO out there for installing Japanese input in Fedora Core 2? I've searched on google and found out that FC2 uses IIIMF instead of the older, more common kinput2 method (for which there is a ton of instruction pages). As for installing/using IIIMF, I've hunted for some sort of manual/documentation, but have been unable to find it (or recognize it if I did find it)... I've installed/yum'ed the Canna package, and several IIM packages, including the canna-le package. Regarding IIIMF, yum says I've got these installed:
Installed package: iiimf-client-lib.i386 1:11.4-46.1.svn1587 matches with
iiimf-client-lib
Installed package: iiimf-le-canna.i386 1:11.4-46.1.svn1587 matches with

Currently on my system some selective ps listings says these are running:
[user@localhost log]# ps -e |grep canna
2360 ? 00:00:00 cannaserver
[user@localhost log]# ps -e |grep htt
2348 ? 00:00:00 htt
2349 ? 00:00:00 htt_server
2724 ? 00:00:00 httx
2726 ? 00:00:00 htt_xbe
The /var/log/messages file says:
Jul 28 18:31:25 localhost su(pam_unix)[2333]: session opened for user htt by (uid=0)
Jul 28 18:31:25 localhost su(pam_unix)[2333]: session closed for user htt
Jul 28 18:31:25 localhost IIim: htt startup succeeded
but then it later says:
Jul 28 18:31:44 localhost htt_server[2349]: Client shut down the connection owned by im_id(1).
Jul 28 18:31:45 localhost htt_server[2349]: status has not been enabled yet. (1, 1)
The only two things I have done other than install the packages are:
1) I added a /sbin/nologin user named "htt" because an earlier check of /var/log/messages showed this:
Jul 28 18:17:44 localhost su: user htt does not exist
Jul 28 18:17:44 localhost IIim: htt startup failed
2) On the advice of one of the web pages, I added a file to my home directory called .i18n that contains the line:
XIM=htt
Anyway, the end of all this is that when I hit the toggle key combination of CTRL + Space to switch input from English to Japanese, I get bupkiss.. nothing happens, and I keep typing in English.
So where am I a moron, and where the "fm" that I should have rtfm'ed?
Many thanks for any help you can give... I'd like to see how this new and sexy IIIMF stuff works before just giving up in disgust and trying to get kinput2 working.
