Works for me...but I typically use Moz for J input, because turning on J input in Galeon also converts all the menus to J.  If anyone knows how to enable J-input on galeon and keep the English menus, I'd be interested in knowing that.

make sure you conversion engine is running
wnn        300     1  0 Nov13 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/cannaserver
make sure kinput2 is running...
keithh   17827     1  0 Nov13 ?        00:00:00 kinput2 -xim -kinput -canna
set...
LANG=ja_JP
XMODIFIERS=@im=kinput2
run galeon

Shift-space...bingo!

I think your problem is the ".EUC" in the LANG setting.  If I try that, it breaks.
