Two different things:

1) for such cubic systems with localized d or f electrons it could
eventually be necessary to lower the symmetry from cubic to, e.g,
orthorhombic (it should be sufficient) to reach the electronic ground-sate.
You can do that by choosing slightly different a, b and c in
case.struct before executing init_lapw. Then, if you want you can
change back to a=b=c just before executing run_lapw.

2) In order to do the calculation with the full BZ, then execute
"x kgen -fbz" after init_lapw. However, in order to save computational
time, I would do first the calculation in the irreducible BZ (and save it
when it is finished), execute "x kgen -fbz" and run again the calculation
(in principle only 3 iterations should be done).

Recently we published results on Ce:
