"Japanese (Anthy)" does not show up as an input method. There are a variety of entries (which are present regardless of whether ibus, anthy, or ibus-anthy are installed), and none of them mention "Anthy". > After this, you should see the language icon in the top-right corner > of the desktop.

When I select one of the Japanese language input methods via the above method (e.g., the one that's just called "Japanese"), I do in fact see a little icon in the upper right that I can toggle between "en" and "ja" using +Space. However, this just seems to shuffle around the keymap for my keyboard. It does not actually let me input any kana or convert anything into kanji. > And thank you very mucho for the patches, I'm going to need Anthy when > I install GuixSD :) I hope we can get it working!
