It should be set before starting kterm. It is not necessary to set
it before starting kinput2. 

But because it is tedious to always set this manually when you start
kterm, it is more convenient to set it for example in ~/.xinitrc and
export it, then it is already set for your whole X11 session, i.e.
it is already set in the environment when you start kterm.
