Besides the problem reported about konqueor web browser, I come across

I'm using KDE 3.0.3 with kde-i18n-zhcn i18n package and set the language
encoding to gb2312. All KDE apps correctly show the Chinese strings that
come with the software via the i18n functions, but Chinese texts in
other places, that is, data that the apps process, cannot be correctly
displayed, including copy and paste from non-kde apps (copy correctly
displayed Chinese webpage in Konqueror works) and file browsing in
konqueror (Chinese file names displayed incorrectly in Konqueror, though
the Chinese strings for file type are correct, since they are i18n
strings).
The KDE apps do not know what fonts to display the texts with. This
seems to be a configuration problem, but I don't think I did anything
wrong.
I read the debian-faq-zh-s and tried its solution: add a ~/.xsession
with the following as its content and solved the problem at last.
---8<---
export LANG=zh_CN.GB2312
export LC_ALL=zh_CN.GB2312
export LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.GB2312
export KDE_LANG=zh_CN.GB2312
export XMODIFIERS=@im=Chinput
chinput
exec kde3

Note that the problem with Konqueor web browser remains unsolved.
These variables are set and exported in ~/.bashrc, which is sourced in
~/.bash_profile, but KDE 3.0.3 started from KDM seems not using them.
