Now, depending on how you are starting X and you VM, .bash_profile could or could not make sense. if you are entering a run-level that drops you into a vt then you manually kick xinit, startx, or watever, then it makes sence, but if you are going straight to to a login manager from init, it does not. In both cases I think .xinitrc is the file that will work best.

Hi All,

tnx, Mauro, ii setsumei da yo. Ok, will do as suggested. On another 
level, I created a file with scottros suggested script on his page,

****

At some point, I got into a habit of only calling these variables when I 
needed them, and made a little lang.sh script.

#!/bin/sh 
XMODIFIERS='@example.com=SCIM' LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 ${1+"$@"} &
      

Then, I might call mutt, for example, with

lang.sh mutt

****

[batmanbegins@example.com ~]$ cat scim.sh
XMODIFIERS='@example.com=SCIM' LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 ${1+"$@"} &

 and ran both f/fox and t/bird from it,

[batmanbegins@example.com ~]$ ./scim.sh thunderbird

 but, still no option for J input with Ctrl-space. Cheers.

Mark Sargent.
