Richard - clearly pete is using edgy, see the name of the bug. I can't reproduce this, here's how I tried:
1. Open OpenOffice.org Presentation. Under 'Tools > Options... ' in the section marked 'memory' I put a tick to 'Enable systray quickstarter'. 2. I closed the options dialog and opened an existing OOo presentation without any trouble. 3. I then rebooted the computer to make sure quickstart was started. I can see in System monitor that OpenOffice is being started with the -quickstart option enabled. Again I opened an existing OOo presentation without any trouble. So here's some questions for pete: * The default (currently) OOo install is 2.0.4 shipped as 2.0.4-0ubuntu2. Do you have that version? * What type of file were you trying to open/view. Please use the file formats full name (Microsoft Powerpoint/ OOo presentation etc.) I'm adding the tag 'edgy' to this bug ** Tags added: edgy -- OpenOffice Crashes Edgy https://launchpad.net/bugs/70325 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
