I've found that openoffice-bin worked quite well for me, with the added
bonus of allowing me to print Japanese (which didn't work with anything
else in Gentoo---using Jonathan's beloved CUPS.)

However, I haven't upgraded in awhile, and I do remember seeing on the
lists that something was a bit borked for awhile.


I did have to call it with that little script of

XMODIFERS="@example.com=kinput2" LANGUAGE=en_US LC_CTYPE=ja_JP ${1+"$@"} &

(with ooffice or soffice, depending upon the version as the argument.)


I had no luck with Abiword, but didn't try very hard.
