I tried Mint and have it on my "things I'd prefer doing if my only other 
choice was being the only cabin boy on a slow-moving Greek freighter."  
I use a lot of Japanese and US government databases in my work that the 
French programmers of Mint Do Something To Mozilla (sorry for the 
technical term, there) that makes it impossible to connect to high 
security sites.  And the fix was more painful than finding another Linux 
version to replace it with.

The return to 12.10 is seeming more and more rational.  But, I'll take 
your suggestion and try ibus-mosc and see whether that makes the desired 
difference.  In my case (and, I think, in Scott's case) Japanese input 
in everything else worked.  It's only the program I regularly use to 
make money that is broken.
