Hi Narfi, I have it working now, a little longwinded, i'm not sure why mdk did not have it working out of the box like this.
I followed your guide, but after i had the working config i set KDE back to en_GB, this wiped the .i18n file, but as i had it backed up that was fine. Incidently en_GB.UTF-8 does not work with kinput2, i forced it and it just dropped out of X on bootup. Now I have a working config with this (and the qtconfig to see the input) $ cat .i18n LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8 ENC=utf8 LC_MONETARY=en_GB.UTF-8 XIM_PROGRAM=kinput2 LC_COLLATE=en_GB.UTF-8 XIM=kinput2 LC_NUMERIC=en_GB.UTF-8 LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8 LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 XMODIFIERS="@im=kinput2" LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.UTF-8 "On the spot" should not be default IMO, it never was in mdk8.x Thanks (ども） JG H.
