From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050923 Galeon/1.3.21 Description of problem: This bugreport is very unspecific. Not sure if it is gtk2 related at all. After some recent updates of FC4, I expect gtk2 updates, both Galeon and Epiphany browsers started lockup like 1x per hour. It gets "fixed" by: mv /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/immodules/im-ja.so /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/immodules/im-ja.so-DISABLED My im-ja looks as the binaries of http://im-ja.sourceforge.net/im-ja-1.4-1.i386.rpm with some binary differences although "im-ja.so" is the same. im-ja was working before, though. Attached Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gtk2-2.6.10-2.fc4.4 im-ja-1.4-1 galeon-1.3.21-14.fc4 epiphany-1.6.5-2 mozilla-1.7.12-1.5.1 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install im-ja. 2. Setup Japanese input methods environment (do not remember how...). 3. Use Galeon or Epiphany for one hour. Actual Results: Locked up unresponsive (no expose updates) application. Expected Results: Application lovely crashing the Mozilla way. Additional info: Currently I disabled Japanese for Mozilla, I can investigate something more if some suggestions appear.

im-ja isn't part of Fedora Core so this is not really a FC bug... Can you try rebuild im-ja against the latest gtk2 to see if that helps?
Alternatively you may want to install scim-anthy or scim-skk from Fedora Extras for Japanese input, or uim if you find it too heavy.
Closing this because im-ja isn't part of FC or Fedora Extras, so it's hard to figure out what the problem is. If you still have it, it should probably be filed upstream with either im-ja or with GNOME.
