Pre-requisities:
Red Hat 7.2 or higher with Canna and kinput2 or equivalents.

#!/bin/bash
kinput2 -canna &
LANG=ja_JP XMODIFIERS="@im=kinput2" $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7

I made this into a little script called /usr/local/bin/ja

Then I can run programs in Japanese mode like

ja mozilla http://www.google.co.jp
ja netscape http://www.yahoo.co.jp
ja kmail

SHIFT-Space to activate Japanese input.  Type romanji and use space to
select alternatives in hiragana, katakana or kanji.  Always hit ENTER after
you want to commit a certain Japanese word before you type a new word.
