Re: [tlug] Re: typing in Japanese (Red Hat 7.2)

[Graeme Jensen <magic@example.com>]

Tried as you suggested.  
 and got this 

# kate -inputstyle overthespot
_KDE_IceTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix should be set t
o root
DCOPServer up and running.

Kate did open but I couldn't type Japanese using either the shift+space key 
or the change key (hangaku / zengaku) at the top left corner of the keyboard.
