tamil keyboards installed with tamil-gtk2im do not appear gtk2im keyboards list.

Binary package hint: tamil-gtk2im

In Ubuntu Feisty for gtk2-immodules, 5 tamil keyboard files are installed by tamil-gtk2im package from universe repo for Feisty. After installation on looking through the "Input Methods" command (which is invoked by right clicking mouse) in applications like GEDIT, the installed 5 tamil keyboards are not seen.

I have determined that the bug is due to tamil-gtk2im putting its payload of 5 ".so" files into the directory /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/immodules . This should be /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/ since this change from /2.4.0/ to /2.10.0/ had been made beginning with Ubuntu Edgy. The Input method module registration utility "gtk-query-immodules-2.0" cannot detect the older /2.4.0/ directory.

I copied with sudo rights the 5 files from older directory to the correct directory and running "sudo update-gtk-immodules" solves the bug.

Requesting you to release a bug-fixed version of tamil-gtk2im for this please
