For gtk2 apps you can input various languages including Japanese independent of what locale you're in. You need to have a language engine (LE) installed for that: for ja it is iiimf-le-canna which uses the canna dictionary server backend (like kinput2 does by default). If you install that and iiimf-gtk and iiimf-gnome-im-switcher you should be well on your way. Finally to enable IIIMF in your X session do: $ mkdir ~/.xinput.d $ ln -s /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/iiimf ~/.xinput.d/default to always turn on IIIMF for all locale. If you only want it on for German, replace "default" with "de_DE". Hope that helps. Unfortunately this information is missing from the FC3 release notes... Jens
