[ubuntu-in] Typing Hindi -2 Unresolved issues (some solutions)

[Ramnarayan.K]

Hi

Ok so no responses but have been able to figure somethings out

1. The hindi typing works well in Abiword (which also leads me to believe
that there is also a bug in Open Office)

  हिन्दी is pasted with one edit directly from abiword - so thats one
problem less (till open office problem gets solved)
