------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Oct 2 18:12:18 +0000 2008 ------- I downloaded the official version of OpenOffice 2.4.1, compiled for linux, packaged as .deb packages. I installed it on a debian system running linux 2.6.18-6-486, using the usual dpkg. There were no errors on installation. Icons were created as expected under the menus Application->Office and Application->Debian->Apps->{Editors, Math, Graphics, ...} Whenever I try to start a component of OpenOffice using the menus it opens the initial X11 window and then it hangs. I have to force quit the application to get out of it. However, if I start /usr/bin/soffice or /usr/bin/openoffice.org2.4 everything works fine. The problem is that the flags -w or -writer, -c or -calc, -d or -draw, ... are not accepted. I can see the same bad behavior when I type "/usr/bin/soffice -writer" (or -calc, -draw, etc.) Note that I am running gnome, and this is the etch version of debian (version 4.0r4). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
