I had a little trouble getting UIM/Anthy set up when I upgraded to 
Ubuntu 8.10, Intrepid Ibis. Nothing related to Thunderbird or Firefox, 
so I don't think I can help you there. But some other things might be of 
use:

First... I just looked in Synaptic, and I don't see an Anthy-specific 
toolbar. Isn't it the UIM toolbar you want? That's the one that appears 
on the Gnome panel and allows you to do things like configure Anthy.

Assuming, then, that you want the UIM one, you need to get the package 
called uim-applet-gnome (or uim-applet-kde). Then you need to log in and 
out. And then you can right click on your panel and select "Add to 
Panel...". Last, in the list, you select "Input Method Indicator". That 
places the icon on your panel from which you can access configurations.

Second... After my fresh install, I would go into the Input Method 
manager interface and do all my configurations. But, no matter how many 
times I double checked and saved my preferences, they didn't actually 
take effect.

Turns out there was this hidden directory in my home folder called 
".xim.d", which had one file in it called UTF_CA. If I recall, I looked 
it up on the web and discovered it was a configuration file associated 
with SCIM. So I deleted the directory, logged in and out, and then Anthy 
was working fine. Maybe it's something like that might be contributing 
to command-key issues?

Hope that helps.
