Why don't you try the SuSE rpms for Mozilla and Galeon then? I tested them on SuSE Linux 7.3 and SuSE Linux 8.0 and Japanese input always worked fine.
I'm going to try again with the newest version of Galeon/Mozilla.
In case you wonder where to get the latest updates of Mozilla packages for SuSE Linux 7.3, they are here:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/mozilla/0.9.8/7.3/ ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/mozilla/0.9.9/7.3/
Don't forget to run SuSEconfig after updating the Mozilla rpms!
I've not yet tested 0.9.9 but I have tested 0.9.8 on SuSE Linux 7.3 and 8.0 and Japanese input works.
-- Ulp... I just installed Mozilla 0.9.9 and Galeon 1.2 before reading your post. I don't believe the problem was with the older versions of Mozilla. When I was bringing up kinput, the kana-conversion box would pop up in the lower left-hand corner and kinput would (still does) take the focus away from whatever text entry box I was trying to type Japanese into. So anything I tried to type went to never-never land. I just need to reclick the entry box after bringing up Kinput, and it works fine. I'm guessing it was working like this before as well. I just didn't think to refocus the cursor (because I haven't encountered this problem before).
I might go ahead and go with the SuSE rpms after all. Thanks everyone for posting... Eric __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! BB is Broadband by Yahoo! http://bb.yahoo.co.jp/
