Qt4 alone is fine, but Qt3 + Qt4 bogs down my system terribly. I guess
that means that it's a no-go.

Searching for """kde applet "Character Selector"""" doesn't get me any
closer to something that I could download and play with! Just a lot of
frustrated KDE 4 users in the same boat as myself!

By the way, there exists this bug:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190776

And I see that we discussed this a few months ago!

No, I'm not looking for a system monitor plasmoid, I need to insert a
few special characters often (mostly non-printing characters but also
a few combining characters). Maybe I should look into just making my
own keyboard layout!

I am doing this with Zim-wiki, but it is not good for the non-printing
characters and cumbersome with the combining characters. In KDE 3 this
was a non-issue.
