Here a small change which makes the script more useful:
substituting the line
oowriter &
with
oowriter $@ &
allowes to use the script on the command line together with a files to edit:
example:
joowriter ~/txt/japanese.odt ~/txt/japanese2.odt
Here the changed script whith the changes added:
mkdir -p ~/bin
cat > ~/bin/joowriter <<'FIN'
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# setting Japanese utf8 locale
locale=ja_JP.utf8
export LANG=$locale
export LANGUAGE=$locale
export LC_CTYPE=$locale
# using scim as input method
export [EMAIL PROTECTED]
export GTK_IM_MODULE="scim"
# start scim if not already running
if [ -z "$(ps -A | grep -i scim)" ]; then
scim -d &> /dev/null &
fi
# start OpenOffice writer
oowriter $@ &
# fin.
FIN
chmod 755 ~/bin/joowriter

Salut Charles :)
Thank you very much for your kind reply!
I tried to make it work using your instructions - unfortunately
without result...
In the meanwhile I tried everything I did before again and - I don't
have any idea why - found the following working for me this time:
scim -d
[EMAIL PROTECTED] GTK_IM_MODULE="scim" LANG=ja_JP.utf8
LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.utf8 LANGUAGE=ja_JP.utf8
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/swriter
As far as I remember I tried the same thing yesterday about 10 times -
without result.
But for some reason (probably thanks to all those things I installed
following all kind of howtos) it is working now...
I wrote a little script to make things easyer:
mkdir -p ~/bin
cat > ~/bin/joowriter <<'FIN'
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# setting Japanese utf8 locale
locale=ja_JP.utf8
export LANG=$locale
export LANGUAGE=$locale
export LC_CTYPE=$locale
# using scim as input method
export [EMAIL PROTECTED]
export GTK_IM_MODULE="scim"
# start scim if not already running
if [ -z "$(ps -A | grep -i scim)" ]; then
scim -d &> /dev/null &
fi
# start OpenOffice writer
oowriter &
# fin.
FIN
chmod 755 ~/bin/joowriter
I hope one way will work for some future users at least - yours or the
latter one...
Probably chances are not very high though looking at all those
different howtos on the net...
Best wishes from Tokyo and have a nice day (in Wako?) also :)

I tried to use OpenOffice with scim and uim but couldn't activate the
Japanese input method in OpenOffice. Control-Space didn't work,
the context menu wouldn't have any entry for the input method and
I was not able to configure another Shortcut when I tried to do so
using the scim configuration tool.
Dear Dietrich,
I had a similar problem with firefox and thunderbird, until one
explained me that some crucial environment variables were needed:
GTK_IM_MODULE=uim ; export GTK_IM_MODULE
QT_IM_MODULE=uim ; export QT_IM_MODULE
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ; export XMODIFIERS
Now if you start OpenOffice from the command line within a shell after
these environment variables have been exported, and after uim-xim has
been started, things should work. The uim-toolbar-gtk-systray may be
helpful too.
My problem was that I had everything in my .xsession, but I was not
aware that my login manager was ignoring this file at startup.
I am using Anthy, so I guess that you would have to apt-get install
uim-anthy to make the input work in OpenOffice whith the method I am
using.
Have a nice day,
