For what it's worth, my normal install process is
1) install from a live disk -- I just used one out of a Linux magazine 
for Mint15 and Mint14
2) sudo apt-get install synaptic
3) get the Japanese IME working
4) sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Sometimes there is some fiddleing with the IME to find everything and 
sometimes after I've done everything I think is necessary and it still 
doesn't work, I need to reboot.  Since the IME has been using Ibus the 
place where anthy is picked seems to change but you do need to have that.

Perhaps I've just been lucky but that usually is all it takes.  Then a 
reboot and start putting in the stuff I always want -- rythmbox, gimp, 
inkscape, audacity, various compilers/intrepreters/libs.  If I know the 
package I use apt-get and if not synaptic for install. Lately I've also 
been downloading the raw firefox and geting rid of ubuntu/mint 
customizations.

It sounds like that menu setting selection in the previous email might 
solve your menu problem and maybe you just need to select the japanese 
input method from ibus preferences.

Good luck.
