Adobe Reader crashes with SCIM

I am using Ubuntu 6.10. Recently, I have installed Adobe Reader 7.0.9. However, Adobe Reader crashed at startup. In ubuntuguide.org , it mentions Adobe Reader won't work with SCIM. Finally, I found the solution -- scim bridge. To solve the problem, install the scim-bridge package and edit the "acroread" script to insert the line "GTK_IM_MODULE=scim-bridge" at the beginning of the script, like:

#!/bin/sh
#

GTK_IM_MODULE=scim-bridge
...

Then, Adobe Reader launches normally!
