Yes.

Ctrl+W is the usual keybinding for Wnn (and seems to be the default
keybinding for Wnn on Debian).

Space also works (but in a different way), but I was used to Ctrl+W and
I did not previously use space. So when I reported the bug I did not even
think about space because I never used it.

1. Run kinput2 in Wnn mode:
   kinput2 -wnn -jserver localhost &

   (jserver need to be already running on localhost)

   (NOTE: kinput2 must be running in Wnn mode. Canna mode uses a completely different
   set of keybindings.)

2. Set the locale to Japanese:
   export LANG=ja_JP.eucJP
   export XMODIFIERS=@im=kinput2

3. Make sure everything is ok; we can test with, say, rxvt or mlterm:
   rxvt&
   
   (Press Shift+Space, type some romaji to get some kana, then press Ctrl+W once
   or twice to get the kanji selection window)

4. Try the same with gedit. Ctrl+w doesn't work.

I don't know which Debian package has gtk-demo, so I am not able to test it
with gtk-demo.

However, I tried a couple of other gtk apps (gaim and mozilla-firefox) and
Ctrl+W also do not work in those apps.

Ctrl+W seems to work in KDE apps (I tried kate).

So it seems that this is a general GTK problem, not a gedit problem.
