KDE5 startx errors if nonUTF8
by jrfr from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5DMGY)
As i had some problems with KDE5, i did a linux full
installation from scratch using current.iso
After the boot I set LANG=fr_FR@euro and startx as root :
all things are OK.
But if I startx as a user, I get a lot of errors :
Current version of pixman: 0.40.0

to make sure that you have the latest version.

......
I have executed fcitx-diagnose and added as indicated three
lines in /etc/profile :
export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx
It was a homeopathic modification except for fcitx-diagnose.
I took root parameters and did modifications for a user acount.
Then I could startx without errors !
It is a very naughty solution but it works.
I have seen on internet, users had in the past this kind of
QT problem using other Linux distributions and corrections
were applied.
Thanks for any information.
