           Product: kdebase
         Component: program
           Summary: kwrite doesn't work default Japanese setup
           Version: 3.1-30mdk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


On a fresh cooker install, I created a new user, switched that user to use
Japanese. Once logged in, I started kwrite and activated kinput2 with shift-space.
After that, no characters appeared in the document I was editing. 
I closed kwrite, edited ~/.qt/qtrc and added 
XIMInputStyle=On The Spot
in the [General] section
I started kwrite again and I could use kinput2 as to do all the editing I wanted. 
In short: with some KDE applications on-the-spot does not work well or look all
that great. With kwrite, it simply does not work at all! Since on-the-spot is
the default state of a Japanese environment created by localedrake, this is a
problem.


My suggestion: I'm sure nobody on the Mandrake team wants to find this error in
kwrite. Instead, I say that localedrake should change ~/.qt/qtrc in the manner
prescribed above when Japanese is selected as the locale.
That's a simple solution, it's relatively clean and all users of Japanese will
love it because on-the-spot in KDE is just painfully ugly! 
[Just to name one: there is no indicator that the Input Method Editor is active.]
