Well, it only makes sense if kinput2 requires the string ja_JP in
LC_CTYPE to function.  And mine does not seem to require that at all.

But I guess XIM may require ja_JP to be either in LANG or LC_CTYPE.

BTW, for GTK2 apps you may want to have a look at im-ja:

My kterm has.
Try "LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8 kterm", type "date" into it and look at the
mojibake you get.
