Input method : was - rawhide report: 20060202 changes

[Naoki]

Howdy,

I see FC5 is moving to SCIM as the default input method, and I'd love to
give it a go. However we seem to be missing the Japanese tables ( I
recall seeing a "ja" and a "japanese" a couple of weeks back?).

Are these coming back or should I be doing it another way?

Cheers.
