It's just warning. Since your X libs are not compiled with -DX_LOCALE, 
kterm cannot set neither of "Japanese locale".  But kterm can display
Japanese character without Japanese locale support, so you can safely
ignore that warning.  Are you sure the codeset of the text is the same 
for the codeset of kterm ?
