Korean input in OpenOffice.org


Due to uncomvenient failure in my 'udev' configuration in my ubuntu edgy, I have to upgrade to unstable feisty fawn.
unfortunately 'apt-get dist-upgrade' command also does not run. so I have to install feisty fawn like a package by package.

As easy as ubuntu distribution, installing was successfully finished.

all my system was recovered to ready to use.

EXCEPT korean language input in openoffice.org.

no matter how I try to input korean language, SCIM input method does not working.

after gooling the situation, I checked my environment of Input Method.
for example, http://www.mrbass.org/linux/ubuntu/scim/

XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM
GTK_IM_MODULE="scim"
QT_IM_MODULE="scim"

and change of configuration in OOO asian language support.

but all my effort was resulted as failure.

over three months, I use OOO just for read the MS office data.
In case I need to edit them, I have to use Abiword and Gnumeric.

But today I found great findings!!!

Just adding two packages in feisty fawn, I got korean input in OOO!!

apt-get install openoffice.org-gnome
apt-get install openoffice.org-kde

what a simple solution it is.
