I'm getting closer to feeling like I can write an intelligent FAQ on
the anthy IME. Figured out how to get anthy running on some apps
within fvwm. Apps that don't understand Unicode or input methods won't
see the IME, of course.
I finally understand what the man page says about the X11 session
ending when .xinitrc exits.
So I copied /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc to my home directory and renamed it
.xinitrc. Modified it according to the comments in the following:

xrdb -merge $sysresources

----------------------------
As I noted in the comments, you have to specify anthy as the engine
after I get fvwm up and have a shell in it to do it in:
$ ibus engine anthy
After that, any window in the fvwm session will be able to accept text
from gedit or firefox or other application that accepts input from an
IME.
XFCE4 seems to ignore .xinitrc .

Be careful when you look at conspiracy.
Look first in your own heart,
and ask yourself if you are not your own worst enemy.
Arm yourself with knowledge of yourself, as well.
