Comment 1 Rex Dieter 2007-07-09 11:21:01 UTC 
Can you try 2 things:
1.  Does it launch ok in kde?
2.  rpm -q qt kdelibs
Comment 2 Mamoru TASAKA 2007-07-09 11:37:25 UTC 
Well,

1. I don't have KDE installed (kdelibs is installed, but kdebase
   is not installed...)
   What is needed? kdebase & kde-i18n-Japanese?
2. qt-3.3.8-4.fc7
   kdelibs-3.5.7-0.1.fc7
Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2007-07-09 11:48:16 UTC 
1. yeah, kdebase at least, kde-i18n-Japanese is optional.

Hmm, I'm unable to reproduce,
$ env LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 KDE_LANG=ja kaffeine
WORKSFORME.
Comment 4 Mamoru TASAKA 2007-07-09 12:13:27 UTC 
Well, now I have kdebase, kde-i18n-Japanese installed,
session KDE starts properly.

However even on KDE kaffeine doesn't seem to launch.
Comment 5 Mamoru TASAKA 2007-07-09 12:49:22 UTC 
Same on rawhide, on GNOME and KDE.
Comment 6 Mary Ellen Foster 2007-09-07 15:01:40 UTC 
It appears that it may be a problem with SCIM rather than with LANG settings
directly ...

I don't know how to test it, though.
Comment 7 Rex Dieter 2007-09-07 15:19:55 UTC 
Let's see if the scim folks have any comment... ? :)
Comment 8 Jens Petersen 2007-09-10 04:20:51 UTC 
Reproduced under F7 with XIM.  I suggest installing scim-qtimm if you need scim
support under qt/kde, otherwise it is probably better to uninstall scim.
The qtimm in scim-qtimm provides much better support than using XIM for KDE apps.

(I can't reproduce this with current rawhide FWIW.)
Comment 9 Jens Petersen 2007-09-10 04:23:04 UTC 
(I should have mentioned the preceding comment is based on testing
under GNOME btw.)
Comment 10 Jens Petersen 2007-09-10 05:43:47 UTC 
I tried to test F7 also with scim-1.4.7-2.fc8 from rawhide and still
kaffeine does not start under XIM, so I suggest this may not a scim bug
since it works ok with scim-1.4.7-2.fc8 under F8 testing.

(I couldn't reproduce the problem with kinput2 fwiw.)
Comment 11 Mamoru TASAKA 2008-01-15 15:23:01 UTC 
On rawhide it seems okay. For F-8 I will try on next logout...
I can no longer try F-7...
Comment 12 Caius Chance 2008-03-06 01:09:16 UTC 
My fresh installed F8 is able to start. Could we close this bug?
