Everything is working fine in Fedora Core 5, including open office. I
have locale set to en_GB.UTF-8, and am using scim (scim-anthy for
Japanese; Simplified Chinese input is also working everywhere as is
mixing Asian languages). Unusually, I don't remember having any problems
setting it up, either originally (FC3) or through the upgrades.

Ah, just found up my FC5 install notes. First:
  su -c "yum groupinstall japanese-support"

Then, if not using a ja desktop:
  mkdir ~/.xinput.d
  ln -s /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim ./.xinput.d/default

I just checked and the only thing in ~/.xinput.d is that symbolic link.
Maybe that step is not distro-specific?
