My point, Gary, was rather that I experienced the same problem after installing OOo 3.0 from the download page, but that it was resolved after installing the Ubuntuised version from the repositories. I am unaware if other Gnome users have had similar experiences.... Henri PS : Rather than replace m37, which is a 3.1 dev, with 3.0.1 RC1, wouldn't it be closer to hand to replace the Ubuntuised OOO300m9 (Build:9358) ? I'm not sure I could succeed in doing so, as I don't see the latter in Synaptic, but as I have the repositories and can always go back (?), it might be fun to give it a whirl....
