Okay, scratch my last message, after rebooting it's not working anymore. I compiled the code that Akira gave me, and installed it as /usr/bin/iiim-locale, and did chmod a+x. When I first boot up, neither user1 nor root have Japanese input capability, though httx and htt_xbe are both running. So, I try this: user1$ kill (httx and htt_xbe PIDs) user1$ LANG=ja_JP iiim-locale UTF-8 user1$ LANG=ja_JP.UTF8 iiim-locale UTF-8 user1$ LANG=ja_JP.UTF8 httx & user1$ ps aux | grep htt htt 2957 0.0 0.0 3188 332 ?

So far (except for once after first running Akira's code) I have not been able to get Japanese for K apps for user1. Why is it working for root but not for user1? I have compared their ~/.bashrc and ~/.i18n and both are the same. Is there a permissions issue somewhere?
