Openoffice woes

Notes
Nothing new in Openoffice crashing on your Linux installation. It does, most of the times :P But for the users who rely on SCIM (Stanadard Chinese Input Method) for Input in their regional language, Openoffice is completely unusable as of now on Ubuntu. It never takes off from the splash screen that appears. Turns out that Openoffice.org doesn't like the GTK_IM_MODULE set to scim. There is a work around, though. But not so convenient one.
