Hi Shaun,
Yes that could be one solution too, but I don't know if it works with
gdb. I recommend trying that out though.
It would be nice to have something like this as the final solution,
because then it would be easier later to enhance OOo to use separate
.app(s) for Writer, Impress etc.

Hi Mox, *,
I'm thinking that rather than using a symlink to the binary we should
create a new small couple of line C program that would call soffice.bin.
I think the key line would be something like:
execve("../program/soffice.bin", argv[], getenv());
in C to replace the symbolic link.
