However, Hindi in Firefox and Thunderbird isn't working; I get the letters displayed wrong (as "ihndi", where "nd" is actually "na" + halant + da). However, as soon as I copy and paste this wrong text into gedit or kedit, it appears quite allright. Anyway, I got uch more than the basic functionality I was looking for, and am able to input Tamil and Hindi without problems in text editors. Thanks a lot for the suggestion.
