I use kinput2 with cannaserver in SuSE 7.2. Japanese input works fine in Netscape, Mozilla, and kterm, and it _almost_ works in OpenOffice 1.0.1:
If I write in kana and don't convert to kanji, then after hitting <enter> the cursor is placed over the middle of the last character and the next character gets written partially overlapping with it. If I convert to kanji, after <enter> I can no longer write in Japanese. It returns to latin input (although the little box indicating Japanese input doesn't disappear), and <shift><space> does not work any more. Nor do <backspace> and <enter> so I have to quit OpenOffice.
Has anyone encountered this behavior?
It works fine for me on SuSE Linux 8.0.
I never encountered exactly the behaviour you describe with partly
overlapping characters.
But if you are still using SuSE Linux 7.2, you will at least suffer
from the problem that kinput2's windows sometimes get focus.

and the solution described there, i.e. add the following to
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Kinput2
*SeparateConversion.input: false
*selectionShell.input: false
*auxShell.input: false
and restart kinput2 (restart X11 if in doubt).
Try that first. *Maybe* this helps for your overlap problem as well,
when kinput2's windows get focus, all sorts of weird things happen,
especially with OpenOffice.
