Output from configure --help does not contain the string improve. Is there something else I need to do to get this? Oh, I am so sorry. Yes, there is something that needs to be done to activate it. The feedback program is only activated in official sun builds. Only there there are the files: ./basis3.2/share/registry/modules/org/openoffice/Office/Jobs/Jobs-oooimprovement.xcu ./basis3.2/share/registry/modules/org/openoffice/Office/Logging/Logging-oooimprovement.xcu in the installation. In the source tree you will find the files at: ./extensions/source/oooimprovement/Jobs.xcu ./extensions/source/oooimprovement/Logging.xcu Im sorry, if I caused confusion.

Yes, OOo is huge and assertions take you all over the place. It might be useful to just concentrate on set of modules (from one application) and ignore everything else in the beginning. And even then it helps to limit oneself to the lowhanging fruits for starters.

I tried a non-product build with the intention of learning about that dialog. But before getting there, I got caught up in the assertions, and I have yet to get out of the trap. Is there anything that will capture a record of what I did to get into an interesting situation? It has happened more than once that I have been trying to reproduced an assertion--but writing down the steps as I go along, so as to produce a good bug report--when I fat-finger something (but I am not sure exactly what) which sends me to a different assertion. Speaking of bug reports ... I have been attaching a backtrace captured while the Debug Output window is open. And I do that with debugging symbols loaded (which *really* loads down my poor little computer). Are these helpful things to do? Does a backtrace compensate for skimpiness in the steps to reproduce?
