See my confession below.

I realize that omission in a list is not an evidence, but at least a 
suggestion. See below however.

I tried once again, and I now realize what I did wrong. The environment 
variable LANG must be set to ja_JP BEFORE the application is started. It 
is not sufficient to set it once the application has started.

If I do:
(export LANG=ja_JP; konsole) & or
(export LANG=ja_JP; kmail) &

it works fine.

It works both with +kinput and -kinput flag it seems to me.

Thanks for enlightening me.
