When the Chinese instance is running and I start the Japanese one, the second instance will still have the Chinese settings and not the Japanese ones. I have to close the Chinese instance first and then can start the Japanese one. But this is not what I want. :( I tried this with mozilla and kmail. > This appears to be an issue which you might want to post to > 'kde-usability' or write a wishlist bug since in your case, you need > to be able to switch your location and X configuration without > restarting KDE and this currently isn't possible. The "perfect" way would be to include this into the keyboard layout changing function in KDE (which currently uses XDM to change the keyboard layout). I wonder if it would be possible to use the same method for environment variables. But I guess not, because XDM is a builtin function in X and I don't know any X method to change environment variables on the fly. I presume there is none. Anyways, the proper way would be to switch from XIM to IIIMF anyways. But IIIMF is still in it's infancy. Although, GTK2 apps seem to support it already, I wasn't able to use it. The applications crashed. :( I will put it on the wishlist anyways (although, I suppose this would be a QT issue?)
