Not all of IIIMF LEs(input methods) available are a part of FC2 at a
time of FC2 release. Meanwhile you can add additional LEs by directly
downloading from openi18n.org.
Please take a look at the list of LEs at

You can add GIMLET to panel, then those white rectangle(this is called
IM Status Window) will immediately disappered, and then all IM status
will be displayed on the panel by GIMLET.

You can see how it should be at

If you add GIMPET, you can independently enable/disable status window
from existance of GIMLET.

The htt is an XIM backward compatibility module, which supports
legacy XIM client. All gnome apps(and will soon be KDE apps) be
directly supported via gtk+ immodule IIIMGCF.

Since the English session you called is actually no longer truly
English session, it is en_*.UTF-8 locale, so natually multi-lingual.

I use en_US.UTF-8 locale usually, and input whatever the languages
I need. 
You don't have to logout from "English session" and re-login into
"Chinese session" to input Chinese any more with Fedora and IIIMF
combination.
