Hello,

I tried the method described at

http://pocketgames.jp/blog/?p=5440

and it works with scim. It sort of works with ibus and mozc as the method but there seems to be no ibus-anthy plugin at the moment. mozc is a bit different from scim and anthy. Remember to export your GTK_IM_MODULE in /etc/osso-af-init/af-defines.sh and it should work on reboot. Only thing, with both methods I lose the virtual keyboard. No idea what's up with that. There are some threads in this forum about how to fix it but it requires removing scim. I'm not a fan of scim; I used to go with uim and anthy on mainstream linux distros, but since ibus is now standard I prefer that method with anthy. But this will have to do for now on n900. So far I know for sure scim with anthy works in Conversations and I'll be checking a bunch of other apps. Thanks for the links. Once I get straightened out with the perfect multilingual system (I need Russian too) and an easy setup process I'll probably just blog it and post a link here at some point.

Cheers.
