Hoary and IIIMF input

Hello list,

I've recently installed Hoary as a second Linux OS on my machine.  I am
wondering if there is a .deb package for "gnome-im-switcher", which I
have also seen referred to as "gimlet".  I've done LOTS of searching via
Google, and I tried 'apt-cache search', but to no avail.  I even tried
using alien to convert and install an RPM 'sudo alien foo.rpm -i'.  

What I'm trying to achieve is to install the SimpleHangul IIIMF plugin
[1] for transliterated Korean input.  I was using this under Fedora Core
2 by hitting Control + Space to activate it.  I could also select
"Internet/Intranet Input Method" as an XInput method, so it would work
with GTK applications as well.  I did install what I believe to be the
relevant IIIMF packages, though I'm not sure how to check which ones
without consulting Synaptic.

It is worth noting that I did add the "universe" repository.  Perhaps I
need to add the "multiverse"?  Does anyone know if these packages exist
or have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Carl Benedict
