Another thing worth testing is to set GTK_IM_MODULE to "scim-bridge". You need to have related packages installed though, I believe scim-bridge-client-gtk (and maybe scim-bridge-agent). > In the case for OpenOffice, it's very easy to change the startup script > (/usr/bin/ooffice) - just add "GTK_IM_MODULE=xim " in front of the last > line.

My understanding about Gizmo is that it's a close source application which uses GTK. So the problem of using GTK_IM_MODULE=scim crashes gizmo should be bug #2246, the weak symbol conflict between libstdc++5 and libstdc++6. There is even a bug reported for this, bug #35290, but I couldn't get more information from the original reporter. Does OpenOffice and F-spot by any means use libstdc++5? I am assuming you are talking about the openoffice.org and f-spot packages in Ubuntu here, instead of the binaries downloaded from http://www.openoffice.org/, for example.
