So, let me start. I have a Hoary machine with UIM installed (with the
anthy engine for Japanese). Works very, very well for me, with the
single tweak of having ctrl-space (rather than shift-space) switch input
mode. And UIM has both a panel applet and a graphical chooser
(uim-im-switcher).

In comparison with iiim on RedHat, I've found this system a lot more
reliable and with a lot less small issues and problems with different
applications.
