what do you mean by "hang"? A dead-lock? I haven't seen any dead-lock there, what happens is that the quick starter implements a termination listener that prevents the office from been terminated; you have to quit the office from the quickstarter icon on the system tray; I guess your bug in Ubuntu is that you can't find the icon anywhere. > Now my question: did we activate the quickstarter on Linux on > purpose? No, the quickstart is activated if there is a link in ~/.config/autostart/ pointing to $INSTALL_PREFIX/openoffice.org3/program/../share/xdg/qstart.desktop This link is created/removed when the user checks/unchecks Tools - Options - OOo - Memory - Enable systrat Quickstarter > If so, we may have a small problem at least on Ubuntu > 12.04 and probably on any Linux that uses a GTK based UI that is not > Gnome-2: I have no quickstarter button anywhere on the screen, that > would a) indicate that the quickstarter is active and that b) would > allow me to deactivate it. This might be only the crappy non-upstream Ubuntu; on vanilla Gnome 3, as provided by Fedora, the status icons from Gnome 2 are displayed in the Message Panel[1] on the bottom, this panel autohides, to display it go with the mouse to the right bottom corner: http://people.apache.org/~arielch/images/aoo-gnome3-systray.png This behaviour can be changed with some gnome-shell extensions that allow showing the status icons on the top panel. For example: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/99/evial-status-icon-forerver/ https://github.com/MrTheodor/gnome-shell-ext-icon-manager [1] I'm not sure what the technical name of this panel, but that's the default behaviour in vanilla Gnome 3, as seen in http://www.gnome.org/gnome-3/ Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina
