[kde-linux] globally using an input method engine

[Joe Friedrichsen]

KDE 3.3.2 on debian testing with kernel 2.6.12

I've been experimenting with input method engines (scim and anthy) and 
using Japanese in my applications. They work rather well, and I can use 
konsole to launch applications and use Japanese in them. Now, I am 
trying to make them usable with any application in the K menu (so I 
don't have to call them from a terminal).

To use scim, there are a few environment requirements:

XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
GTK_IM_MODULE="scim"
QT_IM_MODULE="scim"
LC_CTYPE="ja_JP.UTF-8"

What is the best way to set these environment variables when KDE 
launches an application? The Control Center (Regional and Accessibility) 
area seems to be the best place, but I don't know if it gets this specific.

Thanks,
Joe
