Akira-san,
I ran your code that you sent me, and got these results:
$ LANG=ja_JP ./li
UTF-8
$ LANG=ja_JP.UTF8 ./li
UTF-8

When I run:
user1$ LANG=ja_JP.UTF8 httx &
User1 now has Japanese language in any K app.  However, root does not
have Japanese language support.  Also, the shell itself (konsole) has no
Japanese support.  I'm gonna try putting the command in ~/.bashrc and
reboot to see if gives me support in konsole.

I've done a bit of experimenting and found the following:

Only one instance of httx and htt_xbe can be running at a time.
Example:
user1$ LANG=ja_JP.UTF8 httx &

user1 will have Japanese support in K apps. However, if root runs httx:

user1$ su -
Password:
root$ LANG=ja_JP.UTF8 httx &

Now NEITHER user1 nor root will have Japanese support in K apps.  If a
second user runs httx after another user has already run it, it will
break input method editing for ALL users.  You must kill all httx and
httx_xbe then re-start but for ONLY ONE USER.

Is this by design, a known bug or am I still doing something wrong?

-James
