Generic term, could be replaced with 'gnome-session', 'wmaker' or
others.

Those are all variables that are set in my whole X environment,
I set them using i.e.

	export IMSETTINGS_MODULE=ibus

and afterwards start the windowmanager.

For example QT_IM_MODULE=ibus configured ibus as IM for QT
applications, so those should be started in an environment with this
variable set.

The variables can be checked for example using

	echo $IMSETTINGS_INTEGRATE_DESKTOP

Is ibus-anthy is missing.
The following might help:

	dpkg -l | grep ibus-anthy	# search list of installed
					# packages
	apt-cache search anthy		# search for packages
	apt-cache search ibus-anthy	# search more specific
	apt-get install ibus-anthy	# try to install the package

Hm.. the only relevant thing on the General tab I have here is
"Next input method".

I think the odd thing seen is that anthy is not appearing on the
"input method" tab.
