Good news! Glad it works for you.
Definitely, appreciate your initiative on this. Anything you want to
write for the general FAQ? It would be great if you can pass your
experience on those usual setup pitfalls and resolutions to other users.
Cheers,

Yes, I am a stupid-head.
After staring at the screen for so long, I didn't notice that when I did
cat ~/.i18n as root, I got:
LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8
but as user1, I got:
LANG=ja_JP.UTF8
I should have done a diff, but it's only one damn line...As you
suggested, when I added the hyphen, it is fixed. And, now I can finally
type Japanese in konsole as well, my first time ever! No more ls then
copy/paste for Japanese file names!!!
While I get myself massively drunk to celebrate, I will remember to
toast you all for your help.
Yes, we should add this to the FAQ, or better yet, we should start a
documentation project to produce a howto. I would be willing to
contribute in English and Japanese.

PS - There's a "legend" that a missing comma in some NASA FORTRAN code
caused the Mariner spacecraft to crash on Venus in the 70's...anyone
know if it's true?
