Dave, once you got that far, you can also have a look at the uim
documents, either provided by the package or online:
http://uim.freedesktop.org/wiki/CustomizeUIM
As far as I know there is a gui tool for uim. See the link above and try
to start it from a terminal.

This is why I never liked uim, in the beginning it was a bunch of code
hacked together (lisp, c, c++, shell, perl), and the components never
behaved as one consistent tool that would get the job done. You needed to
start helper servers and a dozen other programs so it would do something.
There was some progress, but it's obviously not enough.

For openoffice, you need to use uim-xim. Make sure that's running and set
your XMODIFIERS as required.
If it's not stable enough, you can still use kinput2.

May I recommend that you post a screenshot somewhere on the web next time
when you start describing your desktop layout. It will make things a lot
easier.
Also process listing and installed packages would be helpful (now we
don't need that anymore though).

cheers.
