I don't remember the option, and I don't have my laptop with me, but if you look in kinput2's app-defaults file (/etc/X11/app-defaults/kinput2) it documents it there. I set that to en_AU, ja_JP and my LANG is en_AU.UTF-8.. This works fine, and at the same time stops programs like gjiten 1.x from displaying a Japanese interface. (2.x lets you stop it from mucking with the environment variables in the first place.) The only annoyance is I tend to trigger Shift-Space when typing capital letters with spaces between, but I haven't decided on a better keyboard shortcut... Next keyboard's gonna have a dedicated charset key for sure. And I dunno how this interacts with other input methods... I expect you could use a Chinese XIM method as well, with a different keyboard shortcut, but I've not tried it. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, MCSE 6th year CompSci/Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) Paul.Hampson@Anu.edu.au Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids.
