I'd start with something simple like xterm before worring about KDE
applications.

The only -misc-fixed-* font in

  http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs-fonts.tar.gz

that contains at the moment Lao glyphs is "9x15", so starting

  LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 xterm -fn -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--15-140-75-75-C-90-ISO10646-1

should give you a Lao terminal emulator.

The 9x15 Lao glyphs have never been tested (can you offer a nice test
text?). Corrections are very welcome (use xmbdfed to edit the fonts),
preferably this week, as I'm abaut to resubmit the fonts to XFree86.Org
(Unicode 3.2 update).
