I'm trying to use fcitx in Slackware 15

I'm trying to use fcitx in Slackware 15, in Xfce (on a PC) and in Openbox (on an old laptop)
set environment variables
Code: .profile
export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx
export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitxtest:
Code: echo $GTK_IM_MODULE ; echo $XMODIFIERS ; echo $QT_IM_MODULE
fcitx
@im=fcitx
fcitxstart fcitx in .xinitrc
Code: /usr/bin/fcitx -rd &test:
Code:ps aux | grep fcitx

test [Ctrl]+[space]:
No effect.
test Xfce keybord icon menu: (right-click menu): input method: only English
I know there are people who use fcitx. How do I get it to work?
NB I want to use fcitx because I want to use Fcitx-mozc, which is supposed to have prediction.
Another solution to get Japanese and Chinese input with prediction to work in Slackware 15 would be fine as well. Can I revert to scim+anthy? At least that had some prediction, even if scim was a bit crappy.
Thanks.
