I sent this message previously from an incorrect address--my apologies if it goes to the list twice. I think that kinput2 and canna are fairly common still. If scim only works without configuration in the GTK apps, it's another reason some of we older geeks still prefer kinput and canna as they require no worries about whether it's a KDE or Gnome app. :) Also, most English speakers at least, looking to learn about Japanese are proabbly going to be directed to my Japanese in *nix page, which only covers kinput2 and canna. :) (In the Arch section, I suggest downloading a vanilla tarball I've made of the two--canna doesn't work quite right, when you call it, it echoes terminated to the screen but is still running. This is NOT an Arch package, it is a generic compilation of kinput to use canna and vice versa that will run on a Linux that doesn't have an available package for it. ) I realize that sounds like boasting, to say they're going to be directed to my page, but it's sort of the big fish in small pond thing. :) Though kinput and canna are losing popularity these days, after a brief setup, there are no worries about whether it's a gtk app or not, no need to use the keyboard, etc. However, here I will soon be stretching for technical reaosns to justify what is, in the end, an emotional decision. At any rate, yes, I think many people will look for kinput2 and canna first.
