Which distro?

The way XIM works is that the app (kterm) that wants to implement an
input conversion must set up an Xt(?) keyboard filter, passing the
keystrokes to kinput2.

Make sure kterm specifies Shift-Space as a conversion starter.  Other
possibilities:

(1) Linux is fxxked up; Shift-Space does not generate the correct scan
codes.
(2) X11 is fxxked up; the Shift-Space scan code is not translated to
the correct keysym.
(3) kterm is fxxked up; kterm is not filtering Shift-Space through
kinput2.

There are probably other possible reasons, which this margin is too
small to contain....
