It's

    setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout ko

on my SuSE Linux 9.3 machine, but this fails with the same
message:

Apparently the Korean keyboard layout is missing xorg-x11 package in
SuSE Linux 9.3:

mfabian@magellan:/etc/X11/xkb$ grep -i -r korean .
./keycodes/xfree86:    // Keys that are generated on Korean keyboards
./rules/xfree86.lst:  ko		Korean
./rules/xfree86.xml:        <description>Korean</description>
./rules/xorg.lst:  ko		Korean
./rules/xorg.xml:        <description>Korean</description>
mfabian@magellan:/etc/X11/xkb$ find . -name "*ko*"
mfabian@magellan:/etc/X11/xkb$ 

It's already missing in the sources, i.e. it is a bug
of X11R6.8.2, it has nothing to do with KDE.

I just reported it as Bug #87443 on http://bugzilla.novell.com.

If you want to follow that bug, create yourself an account on
http://bugzilla.novell.com and tell me the e-mail address you used so
I can add you to the CC: of the bug.  <[email protected]>
doesn't work, i.e. either you don't have an account on
http://bugzilla.novell.com or you used a different e-mail address.

No.
