You should see an 'a', and when you switch into Japanese it should change to ’あ’. Running the GTK systray has issues here, for instance when activate UIM; Instead of doing as I described.. it disappears. Maybe it doesn't like running in the KDE system tray? Have you tried the standalone GTK switcher? After reinstalling my laptop (don't buy anything made by Fujitsu-Siemens..) I noticed that SCIM/m17n actually comes with a setup script to configure your X environment. So, If all else fails you could try SCIM again. ^_^ Cheers, Daniel
