Hi.
The same problem started happening to me recently. I've found that the
solution is to set the LANG variable to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" instead of the
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
Leandro: can you please confirm this solves the issue for you too?
Looks like Oo.o is not capable of interpreting such complex locale
strings. It actually reports so on startup:
$ openoffice
Gnome session manager detected - session management disabled
I18N: X Window System doesn't support locale "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
(or maybe it's that such locale strings are not legal locales and
whatever sets it is the culprit)
In any case, there's still a bug in Oo.o, since I can't see why a
different locale should affect the behaviour of the keyboard: keyboard
mapping is an X issue, not an app issue.
If the actual bug is to take long to be resolved, I would suggest to
work around it by adding code to /usr/bin/openoffice to strip off
anything after the last "." in the LANG string.
Salut,
Jordi.
