------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Jun 8 00:40:10 +0000 2008 ------- The "main.scpt" AppleScript that is used to launch the OOffice binary on Mac OS X has a reliability issue with determining the current DISPLAY. On line 238, the following code is used to get the display number from output of ps: set xdisplay to do shell script "ps -wx -o command | grep X11.app | grep \":.$\" | sed \"s/^.*:/:/g\"" This works in principle, but only if the relevant line returned by ps is shorter than 133 characters. Otherwise, it is truncated, and the DISPLAY is not recovered (above command returns an empty string). This only happens if the X11 application is located in some nonstandard path that is very long, or if the same is the case for the .Xauthority file. For example, if $HOME is not /Users/user/, but somewhere else. The problem is aggravated by the fact that the AppleScript has no error handling whatsoever for the case that the command cited above returns an empty string. The symptom of the problem is that OpenOffice.org 2.4.app just seems to hang, nothing happens. OpenOffice is indeed started in the background, but it doesn't appear because there is no correct DISPLAY set. The fix to this problem is to replace all calls to `ps -w` by `ps -ww`, especially the one on line 238. Also, some more robust error handling would probably be appropriate. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
