Another SL5 upgrade lesson:

Updating from SL4.4 to SL5 added "scim".  Annoying and probably
unecessary, this is not part of a fresh install of SL5.  To add
insult to injury, scim adds the environment variable:
   GTK_IM_MODULE=scim
which causes Acrobat reader version 7 to silently fail.  Unsetting it
with "unset GTK_IM_MODULE" made acrobat work.  I did a "yum erase scim",
and everything still seems to work work work work work work work work
work work work work work work work work work work work work work work
:-)
