Henri refered me to http://tinyurl.com/yvnrqh and I have been trying to follow the instructions in order. The next one is what I have reproduced above: For users utilizing different default and input languages (e.g. Chinese input for an English Desktop). Open up Konsole and type: mkdir ~/.xinput.d cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim-pinyin ~/.xinput.d/default > What happens if you just do the the following changes in > /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim: > #GTK_IM_MODULE=xim > GTK_IM_MODULE="scim" > #QT_IM_MODULE=xim > QT_IM_MODULE="scim" Done.

LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_GB:en LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_ALL= Ought I not to have a Japanese locale in there as well? Do you think I might do better to try to finish the reference I had already started and then try this different tack if that doesn't work? Henri says that the equivalent Ubuntu instructions worked beautifully, and the main problem here is likely to be my own lack of knowledge of Japanese and lack of experience in Kubuntu. Thanks for the help. One way or another I have got to get there, and fast. I just hope that I don't drive you all crazy in the process.
