[Fedora-i18n-list] Using Japanese in KDE Apps Causes System Freeze

Hi,
I've stumbled across a major problem with iiimf.  Before, it was working
fine, but now when I try to use iiimf in KDE apps (konsole, quanta,
kedit) I get a system freeze and have to shut down my computer.
iiimf is working fine in Gnome apps.

How to Reproduce
-----------------
1. Open quanta
2. Press CTRL-SPACE
3. Type Japanese (like bennkyou= べんきょう)
4. Press SPACE to convert
5. You only can see the first kanji displayed, second is blank space
(i.e. 勉)
6. quanta app is now frozen and will not respond to any keyboard input.
You cannot turn off iiimf by pressing CTRL-SPACE again.  Also, HOME,
Backspace, ESC, CTRL-C, etc. do nothing.
7. Next go to any other open KDE app (like konsole).  Even if you are
not using IIIMF and just try to type English, you can only type one
character then the app freezes.
8. From now on all KDE apps are frozen and you must reboot.
9. If you press CTRL-ALT-F1 to try to log on to a text console, the
system will freeze.

This bug can be reproduced using the above steps 100% of the time.

In /var/log/messages, I get the following errors:
Dec 21 00:20:19 enormousroom htt_server[2719]: status has not been
enabled yet. (1, 6)
Dec 21 00:21:08 enormousroom htt_server[2719]: status has not been

Dec 21 00:21:20 enormousroom htt_server[2719]: Client shut down the
connection owned by im_id(1).

The "status has not been enabled yet" happens thousands of times, and I
know there is a bug report open on this one.  But what is "Client shut
down the connection..."?

My /var/log/iiim and /var/log/canna directories are empty.
