I am not sure it's with dapper ???
I had a mandriva 2006 with kde3.4
and the chinese was written properly and got all pictogramms (about all) 
with scim
i tried to update mdk but I couldn't (one of the reason i turned to kub)
and I noticed (it's just an idea) that with kde 3.5.2 pictogramms are 
grey...
maybe only a problem of font ? i mean for the looking ... So i installed 
xp on vmware /vmplyer  because i delete xp on my pc... And i can get 
them with njstar...
But it's just a solution of short time...
Time to find the solution... But for about 10 years i am on linux, I 
just can get webcam working in msn with amsn ??? lol
i hope this problem will be solve before 10 years ???
I am lucky I don't need xp any more !!!!
cheers
Henri
