It is OMG. Because it IS torture.

That makes me think that OOo didn't detect on startup that you are under GNOME. You *are* under GNOME (or Xfce which somehow is detected as GNOME), right? Otherwise, you can try export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP="gnome" before starting OOo. (or "kde" for KDE, where the same should work, according to upstream) Regards, Rene -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
