LANG & kinput2 (was RE: tlug: Cathedral and Bazar)

Hi Craig,

you wondered:

Strange. At least with the stuff that I have installed (an
older Debian bo with older bo-jp packages of canna,
kterm and kinput) it works fine without that. I have 
LANG unset, and I start kinput2/kterm like this:

$ kinput2 -canna &
$ kterm -km euc &

and it works like a charm. The only other thing that I
needed to have this working was to add an X resource
that specified "Shift<KEY>Space" as the default
conversion key.

Sure will. I'll just have to get the sources from my
Hamm box at work...

Thanks,
Thomas
