Instructions are Not Quite Right for Jessie KDE (and maybe also due to 
using true nvidia drivers instead of nouveau ... or user stupidity ... 
or a combination of those factors).

1.    No xinitrc file BUT there is an xinput file which I modified and 
seems to only accept input from Input Method.  Attempts to modify the 
file by adding text to the created file only earned me a scolding from 
Input Method setup and I was told to erase xinput and start over.

2.    Creating an xinput file changes nothing.

3.    I admit to being unsure which windows manager I am using other 
than "the one that was installed and just works".

4.    The nvidiarc file does not look as though it is the right x 
control folder to be adding stuff into as contents deal more with color 
intensity and GPU temperature monitoring.

5.   Adding the "export" and "fcitx" lines to bashrc leads to a 
configurable installation upon reboot.

BUT

I cannot switch inputs from the keyboard (I want to use L_SHFT + L_ALT 
to start and switch, like MS-IME) and still have to mouse click the 
keyboard icon to switch language inputs manually.  In this regard 
nothing much is different from the working ibus installation I nuked to 
install this.

Suggestions?  ... (other than "Have you tried Windows 10" of course).
