Finally what I did was to download OOo 2.2 and install it after dpkg
--purge of all the distro-given OOo things. Though it was not seamless,
in the sense that, I had to create all the Desktop links myself, and yet
to fix the icons. Anyway, it did work after all. The fonts and the
language things working fine. 

One thing, if I may ask you. All the time I am using Wordprocessing with
OOo, be it SuSE, Ubuntu or RedHat, I have almost never used the SCIM
things. In my desktop, where I do a lot of Bangla works, the CTL is not
activated all this time. What exactly is the use of the CTL there, as
you suggested, in the System-Language setting? And How I am working with
the Indic complex-font-rendering things without making it on? When SCIM,
when not, and why? The whole thing, because I don't understand it, seem
quite arbitrary to me.
