Comment 6 for bug 139249

Thanks for your advice. Indeed it dies with:
/usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk: error while loading shared libraries: libscim-gtkutils-1.0.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Installing scim-gtk2-immodule fixed the problem. I wonder the dependencies were broken somewhere. I started with the English version of Kubuntu Gutsy, and installed skim and scim-hangul manually. Nowhere do I see Depends: scim-gtk2-immodule.

$ apt-cache show skim
