If you use the official FC2 OOo packages, it comes on three rpms 
openoffice.org-1.1.1-4.i386.rpm, openoffice.org-i18n-1.1.1-4.i386.rpm 
and openoffice.org-libs--1.1.1-4.i386.rpm. the language packeges are in 
the il8n rpm.  so when you run rpm -qa |grep openoffice you should see 
the il8n rpm as one of the three.  But in FC4 each language comes as a 
seperate rpm file.

I am not even sure if yumex is compatable with the yum that comes with FC2.
