[Solved] ibus daemon run, but not ibus-anthy on xfce

Hello,

I would like to type Japanese characters using ibus-anthy. I followed the wiki and did every instructions step and possible fixes :
- installed ibus and ibus-anthy
- installed Japanese fonts and Japanese local
- added the following lines to my ~/.bashrc file :

export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export XMODIFIERS=@im-ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
ibus-daemon -drx

I also tried switch these lines with other ones (as given in the wiki page) but it does not fix my problem.

So when I start my X session with startxfce4 command, the ibus daemon runs well. However, when the anthy input method is selected
I can't have any Japanese characters appearing on my applications.

What should I do ?

Update

I noticed my typo in the line

export XMODIFIERS=@im-ibus

I replaced it with

export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus

But the problem remains.
I also installed ibus-kkc and a funny thing appeared. I can type in kana, but only in the language selection window :

So I thought I had a trouble with GTK applications and I added the following line into my ~/.bashrc:

export GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE=/usr/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules.cache

But there is no change

Hi, i had a same problem.
Reconfiguring .xinitrc solved it for me:

#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)

export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus

# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
