What am I doing wrong? snip It may be that the path is wrong - how are you starting the applications, from the GUI menu or a console? Star Office did something similar on me if I loaded from the GUI menu, but ran OK if I called it from the command line. The reason was that the menu path went something like /usr/bin/swriter.. (say, for StarOffice Writer), but Star Office was actually in /home, so needed the path /home/dougb/staroffice6.0/swriter . If you use Menudrake in MCC, you can check the path in Properties of the particular application and change it as necessary. You'll need to find out where it actually resides first, of course.
