My X runs fine but I think I am still seeing this problem with diffrent ports.

They are japanese/Canna japanese/kinput2-canna.

Canna uses "unix" domain socket to communicate and it still doesn't work.  Before, Canna reproted some "unix" domain socket error.  Now, it doesn't report such errors but "kinput2" stucks.

Installing kinput2-cann will install Canna as well.
You will need these 2 entries to run Canna.

canna_enable="YES"
canna_flags="-u bin inet"

Then, you need the following to allow to use kinput from X terminals.

setenv XMODIFIERS '@im=kinput

Once you start canna, run "kinput2" in one of the X terminals.  Then, kinput2 eats all CPU.

Thanks,
