Which tools? you mean something like toolbar and the
properties dialog does?

I'm not sure if I see what you mean, if you can input any
Japanese after you press ctrl+space, it's the right way to
do.  If you need to do change the language on gimlet for
inputting Japanese and want it by default, you need to set
LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 in /etc/sysconfig/i18n or ~/.i18n.
Japanese will be default after restarting your desktop
session then.
