Hi Eike, sorry to take a while responding, didn't see your message until now!
Well, tried again, didn't work. but: just now installed gnome 2.4 and gave OOo a try, it seems to work under gnome even without the workaround! Still broken under xfce. gnome runs a bit slow for my tastes, but I will poke around and see if I can learn from this somehow. any directions from anyone would be grand! thanks, matt On Wed, May 05, 2004 at 11:24:50PM +0200, Eike Sauer wrote: > Package: openoffice.org > Version: 1.1.1-2 > Severity: normal > Followup-For: Bug #241529 > > > I've got the same error using testing/unstable KDE. > The "OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=none oowriter" trick works for me. > If you need any information, feel free to mail me. > > > Debian Release: testing/unstable > APT prefers testing > APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable') > Architecture: i386 (i686) > Kernel: Linux 2.6.3 > Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (ignored: LC_ALL set to [EMAIL > PROTECTED]) > > Versions of packages openoffice.org depends on: > ii dictionaries-common [openoffi 0.22.8 Common utilities for spelling > dict > ii openoffice.org-bin 1.1.1-2 OpenOffice.org office suite > binary > ii openoffice.org-debian-files 1.1.1-2+2 Debian specific parts of > OpenOffic > ii openoffice.org-l10n-de [openo 1.1.1-2 German language package for > openof > > >
