.. oh: specifically, it was the ootrace method that turned up the issue. Didn't check xsession errors.

Re: Has anyone seen this? Openoffice 2.4.1 disappears after its splash screen
Confirming: that was it; was choking on a specific type 1 font. Not sure why, but for now, I'm leaving it out of the active fonts; might look into it more a bit later.

Re: Has anyone seen this? Openoffice 2.4.1 disappears after its splash screen
Thanks; good suggestion. There's a segfault in there... working on it now. Looks like it might be choking on a font metrics file.

You can have a look at ~/.xsession-errors, but I am not too optimistic about this since you do not even get any error message when you start the program directly from the command line. It may help to use strace on the program like this: strace -f -o oo-strace.txt ooffice This will log all system calls in the file oo-strace.txt. The strace file will be too long to be posted here, but maybe you can upload it somewhere so that we can have a look. If that is not possible then you can post the just end of the file, the last 50 lines or something like that.

Yeah. Process isn't there. Goes away pretty much instantly.

Re: Has anyone seen this? Openoffice 2.4.1 disappears after its splash screen
... and to clarify, when I say 'no errors', I mean it doesn't report any errors. Just fails silently. But it still doesn't start. Splash screen, then nothing.
