Yes.  I have now noticed that, on my desktop that runs LibreOffice, the 
switch doesn't work. And, when I click on the icon in the system tray, 
it says "No Input Method" but, when I switch to another desktop ... like 
this one that runs T-Bird, I get on / off options. I am wondering if the 
problem is LibreOffice and not KDE.

Please elucidate.  I left SuSE after a brief tryout because it was 
always questioning my decisions to allow or reject things, especially 
new software installations.  Since Hochdeutsch is meine zwitten 
Muttersprach I found some of the German-language help responses to be of 
the condescending "You're too stupid to do this, just go use another 
distro." variety, so I went back to Kubuntu. But, after recent comments 
from people here, I was about to take another look at what else is out 
there.  My key search terms are "does what I want" and "doesn't require 
a lot of extraneous maintenance."

I had a brief run with Free BSD which I recall as being not especially 
painful but gave into the shallower learning curve of the *buntus with 
the results I am having now.
