Nothing there seemed relevant either. As to the level of lockup, within KDE I was able to alt-tab and bring up the list of icons, but most choices had no effect.

Once I changed to a different desktop theme, the problem went away. I don't know much about KDE, but if you can change desktop themes, try that and then see if it doesn't lock up anymore. ---Bryen--- I'm running the out of the box theme. Haven't yet experimented with that aspect of KDE. I just did a right-click configure desktop and don't see an easy way to set a theme.

To anybody that has the problem ... it is perhaps worth starting ooo from a terminal and seeing if it outputs any diagnostics when things go wrong. It might also be easier to kill it :) Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Only a system restart recovers! OOo can use some 3D effects: try disabling them. Also, you can choose to use dialogs from OOo or via gnome/kde/whatever: try changing that, switching to the other type of dialog. Those two things have been known in the past to cause problems to OOo. I vote for 3D :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I'm running OO 2.3.0 build 2.3.0.1.3 from the Open Office Build Service. Oddly enough, now I am seeing a problem that might be related... I don't use KDE much, but my wife does, and when she logs on, the system seems to hang for several (5-7) minutes after saving a web page in Firefox, or a spreadsheet in OO. So much so that if she logs off her session, it appears the X-server has died. (no NumLoc key, etc.). I ssh'd in and Beagle was eating my entire CPU... Three times now, by the time I walked back into this room, KDM had finally returned to allow me to log on. I then checked, and Beagle was idle... So I retract my earlier post that OO was working fine for me...I wasn't using it in KDE. I wonder if Beagle is getting a lock on the scheduler? More checking here required!
