Use ibus with mozc, since that's what I use elsewhere.

### Japanese input in XWindows
Setting Japanese keyboard layout with caps-lock as control:
- setxkbmap jp
- setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps
+ setxkbmap -layout jp -option ctrl:nocaps
Installing mozc IME:
- sudo install ja-fcitx-mozc zh-fcitx-configtool
+ sudo install ja-ibus-mozc
In `~/.xinitrc`, before launching i3, add:
# Use fcitx for Japanese IME.
- export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
- export QT_IM_MODULE=xim
- export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx
+ export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
+ export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
+ export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
- # Start mozc engine and fcitx IME.
+ # Start mozc engine and ibus IME.
/usr/local/bin/mozc start
- fcitx -r -d

-Configure fcitx by running `fcitx-configtool`. Using the *Available input
-method* pane, add *Keyboard - Japanese* and *Mozc*. Remove US keyboard if
-present (unless you're using a US keyboard). In the *Global Config* section,
-change the *Trigger input method* setting by clicking the button, then pressing
-the hankaku/zenkaku key. On a US keyboard, the useless bottom right 'menu' key
-works well too.

+Configure ibus by running `ibus-setup`. Using the *Input Method* pane, add
+*Japanese* and *Mozc*. Remove US keyboard if present (unless you're using a US
+keyboard). Note that when you do this step, dbus will need to be running; this
+involves either a reboot after the XWindows config steps above or manually
+starting it via `service dbus start` before running `startx`.
