Hi Matthew and all,
I experienced the same problem here and found out where this came from:
The culprit was the stupid Samsung SCX-4200 (printer+scanner) installer,
which does a lot of ugly things (renaming the soffice.bin file to
soffice.bin.bin and making the original file a wrapper which then

Wow... such a simple thing.
I have fixed it locally, and am happy.
But how did it get like that?
I don't have any idea. It is not shipped like that, and it's certainly

I know that I am not running as root. I have tested it in my own admin
account (the default account made with ubuntu install), and with a
