Is your OpenOffice crashing? Look here!

kolinab · 09:11 PM

Hi,

My OpenOffice.org v. 2.3 was crashing (usually when opening dialog boxes) on a clean install of Gutsy. I did some searching and discovered that my problem was somehow related to the package Openoffice.org-gtk. Uninstalling this package has solved the problem for me. However, OpenOffice no longer obeys the gtk theme specified elsewhere.

I'm just trying to sew a few of these threads together so we can help some folks out. I've listed some of the related threads and bug reports below.
