I did, and it was with the Feisty beta version on a dual-boot system. I
wiped the Windows partition and did a clean install of the Feisty normal
release and it's been fine. All I did was taken from the community
documentation at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SCIM. After enabling
language support and installing the Korean language packages, I put these
two lines in through terminal:

sudo apt-get install scim-qtimm
im-switch -z en_GB -s scim

And did a reboot, though they say all you need to do is logout and login
again. As I said, I've had no problems with crashing using this method, and
SCIM works in every application, even the KDE apps I use (I have GNOME). As
far as fglrx is concerned, I didn't do anything special there, either;
simply did everything through the Restricted Drivers Manager. I now even
have Beryl going and still no problems with SCIM at all in any app. I don't
even know myself why I don't have crashes anymore, and I'm not
complaining... ;-)

I've not had to deal with GTK_IM_MODULE or anything fancy like that. Does
that help?
