Thanks (to you and also Craig White and Tait Clarridge)
for confirming that the problem is likely specific to
my machine. Those match the versions I have:
ibus-1.2.0.20090927-1.fc11.i586
ibus-anthy-1.2.0.20090917-1.fc11.i586
ibus-gtk-1.2.0.20090927-1.fc11.i586
ibus-libs-1.2.0.20090927-1.fc11.i586
anthy-9100h-8.fc11.i586
kasumi-2.4-2.fc11.i586

I'm using Gnome but tried that and also tried a full reboot
after the updates but that didn't help. I also "rpm -e" all
the packages I listed and reinstalled them.
Last night I updated everything I could see that seemed related
to gnome, gtk, pygtk, Xorg, etc., on the theory that there was
perhaps some unrecognized dependency on a recent package but
it didn't help. (Unfortunately I can't keep everything up to
date over a 3KB/s modem connection that rarely runs unattended
for more than a couple hours.)
The only other thing I notice is when I run ibus-daemon from
a shell with "-v", I see lots of errors like the following that
appear when it's started:
(ibus-daemon:21356): IBUS-DEBUG: From ::1.1 to :1.3, Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed :
Can not get value [engine/anthy/shortcut/default->on_off]
(ibus-daemon:21356): IBUS-DEBUG: From ::1.1 to :1.3, Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed :
Can not get value [engine/anthy/shortcut/default->circle_input_mode]
...
(ibus-daemon:21356): IBUS-DEBUG: From ::1.1 to :1.3, Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed :
Can not get value [engine/anthy/shortcut/wnn->add_word]
(ibus-daemon:21356): IBUS-DEBUG: From ::1.1 to :1.3, Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed :
Can not get value [engine/anthy/shortcut/wnn->start_setup]
They all have in common a message about not getting a value
from engine/anthy/shortcut/<something>. Perhaps these are
normal? If not, do they ring a bell with anyone?
I don't see any messages when I type the activate sequence
(alt-grave) in some window.

In retrospect it did sound a little pissy -- chalk it up to a
high level of frustration. But I have to honestly say that I
have more commitment to using a system that meets my needs than
to FOSS political correctness.
