> ja_JP.euc*JP* locale will work, Nope. Doesn't work. Same error. :P No, really. I've now got the ja_JP.eucJP locale, and it produces the same error as all the other locales. The kanji selection list appears when I type something, but I can't see any preedit text or output. kinput2's working, though, so I'm not sure exactly what the error could be. -David
