This problem is still present in Kubuntu Etch Beta 1. I have tried running the "Language Support" script from the Applications menu and installing support for Japanese. I have the SKIM icon in the toolbar, but cannot input Japanese in Firefox, OpenOffice etc.
This is really a problem for those wanting to input Asian Languagese, so could this bug be assigned to somebody - Pretty please :) -- Can't Input Japanese Text https://launchpad.net/bugs/44626 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
