You are right, but it is needed for applications to be able to receive
japanese.

The link I posted earlier mentions that kinput2 is depricated. Don't
know if that is true though. I did find uim(-anthy) working a whole
lot better though.

But, back to the core of my question, do you know if it is possible to
set an environment variable like LC_CTYPE for KDE without using
something like .bashrc or .bash_profile (or to get it to read my
.xsession) ??
