------- Additional comments from p...@openoffice.org Thu Mar 5 17:51:06 +0000 2009 ------- - observation: reported difference between "root" install and "user script" install does not exist - observation: the kde plugin has no hand in this However the configuration backend for kde only gets active if the kde vcl plugin gets loaded (hence the dependence of the issue on the kde plugin). The config backend reads the default path to store to ($HOME/Documents) from KDE's KGlobalSettings. This is a file path that was converted to a URL by prepending "file:" to the path resulting in something like "file:/home/username/Documents". This has been so since at least 2006, but somehow has worked up to now; apparently we are now less fault tolerant to strange URLs. Converting the path using osl_getFileURLFromSystemPath should result in OOo compaitble URLs. Will attach a patch to shell/source/backends/kdebe/kdepathslayer.cxx that does this (and fixed the problem for me). pl->of: please check if this works also with "curious" user names like "Èric" or "られる" containing non-ascii characters. all: who owns the configuration backends nowadays anyway ? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
