My default setup is a fully updated debian squeeze and uses: rox-filer-2.9 rox-lib2-2.0.5 rox-session-0.41.0 openbox 3.4.11.1 (as suppled by the distro) I unpacked the debian version of LO 3.3.0 and the GB language pack and installed it without apparent problems. However, if I try to save an new file or use 'Save As' to try to create a new version of a file, LO freezes at the point where it should open the save dialogue. If I simply re-save an edited document back on itself there is no problem. Open Office 3.2.0 doesn't have this problem. Curiously, if (on the same machine) I log out, then log back in to the Gnome desktop LO performs its saves quite correctly. What I don't know is whether the fault is with LO, OpenBox or ROX. Or is it some ambiguity that two elements are interpreting differently? Suggestions welcome. I would really like to move from OO to LO. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song. |

I can now confirm it is definitely something between LO and ROX :( If I start a plain openbox session and use xterm to bring up LO it performs all operations correctly, but if I then use rox -S to bring up the icon bar with its goodies then then LO save problem shows up :( I could really do with some help here guys. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.

Just got some information from an Open Box user. Libre office has a new option in Tools>Options>General that selects whether you use the default dialogues or Libre Offices' ones. Checking this seems to cure the problem. Presumably there is some odd problem with Libre Office and gtk. Strange that I don't show the same problem with Open Office, and that option isn't there either! -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
