(Following the earlier discussion about XIM...)
http://im-ja.sourceforge.net/
is a pretty effective input module for Japanese input in GTK2.
The nice thing about using a GTK-native input module as opposed to a
generic XIM method is consistency: the helper windows that pop when
entering Japanese look and operate like other GTK controls. Of course,
im-ja still uses canna as a backend.
This, coupled with the GNOME2.2 keyboard switcher applet (which lets me
pick a country[1] and add it to my list of keyboard layouts, and then
hit ctl+shift to cycle layouts) make switching input methods pretty
pain-free.
Progress is being made, I think.
[1] And I've read arugments about distinguishing countries from
languages before-- the countries and flags are merely a hint to aid
selection, and you can pick any xkb layout you want.
