Release notes for im-ja 1.4 --------------------------- If you have an older version of im-ja-applet (applet for the gnome panel) installed then make sure you update that as well. im-ja 1.4 is not compatible with older applets (<= 1.3). If you want system tray support, you may need to turn it on in im-ja-conf under the "Status win" tab. Fedora: Installing the rpm package will give an error when updating the gtk.immodules file, because of the missing gtk-query-immodules-2.0 which is called gtk-query-immodules-2.0-32. You need to run the update-gtk-immodules script included in fedora after installing the package. It should be done similarly to the following: # update-gtk-immodules i386-redhat-linux-gnu The Fedora way of updating the immodules file is somewhat complicated (as I don't use it), but this should work for sure if you still can't get the "Japanese" label in the context menu: # gtk-query-immodules-2.0-32 > /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules # export GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE=/etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules A non-root user can use an immodules file in his home directory instead of the one under /etc.
