They are not exclusive, but there is not much sense in running them aloong
each other, cause they offer same functionality. Also you coul'd use only
one of them at a time, by starting kinput2 with the apropriate option
(if you have a wnn AND canna supporting kinput2 binary)

That's funny. Usually there should be such a window.
What Window Manager are you running? It could be hiding that Window.

You need a properly written Netscape resource file. I'd suggest you check out
the Netscape RPMs of Kondara MNU Linux (www.kondara.org), they are supposed to
have the best japanese-capable Netscape. Or try Mozilla.... (works for me)
