I don't know how to get it to use Kanji though. All I appear to get is hiragana. I don't know very much Japanese and really can't read it without a kana chart and a dictionary. My sister has had several years of Japanese in school and was nice enough to verify that, yes, it was displaying kana. Unfortunately, when I typed in "neko" it displayed the hiragana and not the Kanji we were expecting.
Also, unfotunately for you, what doesn't work is KDE/QT apps. I'm not sure yet as to why. I run KDE for my desktop, but my of my apps are Gnome/GTK (go figure!).

To convert from hiragana to katakana, you have to press the down cursor. If you have canna deamon running, you can further convert it to kanja by hitting the enter key, followed by the down cursor. E.g.,
neko -> ねこ -> ネコ -> 眠子
I have not been able to get iiimf working in KDE, & this is the key reason why I am sticking with GNOME. But I have heard that iiimf should work under KDE.
