I'm trying to configure kinput2 for Japanese text input, but as of yet
I've had no success. I have the following lines in my ~/.Xdefaults and
have merged them using xrdb:
*KinputProtocol.XlcConversionStartKey:  Shift<Key>space
*ConversionStartKeys:  Shift<Key>space
*inputMethod: kinput2

I also have the following in my ~/.xsession:
[...]
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
export XMODIFIERS='@im=kinput2'
kinput2 -xim -kinput -canna &
[...]

However, kinput2 fails to trigger in either firefox or gvim.

Ideally I'd like it to work with a menu key trigger, but <Key>Menu
didn't work any better than Shift<Key>space.
