Does anyone know how to use these utilities ?
My problem is that I can get them working from the terminal, by typing:

[guppy@localhost guppy]$ kinput2 -canna

Then launching kterm and pressing <SHIFT> <SPACE> to activate kanji conversion. Which works very nicely, I have to say.
Another way of doing it is getting a text-mode console and typing

[guppy@localhost guppy]$ kon

And then switching to another console, starting X and launching kterm.
BUT. When I try to get it working in say emacs or AbiWord, no matter what I try, I can't get Japanese. The man and README pages are really cryptic!

Does anyone know how this can be done easily? (If bad uncle Bill can do it ... )

lets try not to double post or triple post please. it only irritates the ones answering the questions.

Ooh. Sorry about that.

Did anyone else have trouble with the linuxquestions.org server about 24 hours ago?

The server wasn't responding to new threads being posted. Looks like it did receive them and didn't tell me !!

I guess this one's not really common knowledge .... !
