And of course, no man page on where to fix it.  :)  Nor did apropos get me 
anywhere.  I'll find it. 
Meanwhile, that file that I mentioned in an earlier post seems promising.  
Fortunately, it's a bash script rather than a C or C ++ program, so 
hopefully, I'll be able to puzzle it out with a little work.  However, in the 
interim, I've come across other files that also might hold the key.

Well, maybe in 7.2  :)  (I can put in the smilies, now that I feel I'm 
getting closer to solving this.)

I don't know if I mentioned that if I start icewm or blackbox, kinput2 -canna 
does not automatically start. I've fixed that by adding a line to the 
.xinitrc so it's one less thing to worry about.

 Yes, forgot to mention that--sorry, trying to do too many things at once.  
Simply says Protocol "PS/2"
	    Device   "/dev/psaux"
Then several lines commented out
Lastly Emulate3Timeout  50

During installation, it saw it as a 3 button mouse (it's an intellimouse 
optical, with a scroll wheel.  However, the wheel doesn't work as a 3rd 
button, though pushing left and right simultaneously does give me the 3 
button effect.)
In kde, again, in a kterm, if I do the ctrl + both buttons, it does give me 
the input options of EUC and shiftJIS.

I do feel that I'm getting closer to this--if I were better at bash scripts, 
and understanding them, I might have it fixed already.  
Ah well, back to the man pages  :)
(Scott half-heartedly tries a shift + space to see if it's magically healed 
itself--nope.)
