I have upgraded scim, scim-config-gconf, scim-config-socket, scim-dev, 
scim-dev-socket-doc, scim-frontend-socket, scim-gtk2-immodule, 
scim-server-socket from 1.0.2-1 to 1.0.2-2, but still no joy with SCIM 
and Debian OpenOffice.

Also have installed: scim-chewing, scim-chinese, scim-hangul, scim-m17n, 
scim-tables-additional, scim-tables-ja, scim-tables-ko, scim-tables-zh, 
scim-uim, anthy and libanthy0.

Someone using Mepis seems equally "stuck" getting SCIM to work with OOo 
and I think there's probably a few more on the Internet lists. Don't 
know what we are all doing differently.

[Incidentally I find OpenOffice1.1.3-6 very unstable (it crashes when 
certain menu items (e.g. 'Font Effects', but it may be a different item 
with each install) are selected]
