  Binary package hint: openoffice.org
  
  Hi, all.  This seems like such an obvious bug, there must be something
  specific causing it or it would have been reported before...
  
  I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 on a Thinkpad G41.  The package openoffice.org-
  impress is version 1:2.4.0-3ubuntu6.  I have a clean ground-up install
  of 8.04, plus some extra packages installed through Synaptic, plus a few
  small hardware-related config tweaks.
  
  To reproduce the bug:
  
  1. Run OpenOffice Impress.
  2. Create a new presentation following the prompts in the wizard, default 
everything.
- 3. When the new presentation appears, go to the menu and select 
Import->Picture->From File...
+ 3. When the new presentation appears, go to the menu and select 
Insert->Picture->From File...
  
- The Import Picture dialog starts to appear, but all I get is the frame.
+ The Insert Picture dialog starts to appear, but all I get is the frame.
  The interior is gray with two white rectangles, no controls or widgets.
  It just wedges there, pretty much.
  
  It's possible to close the dialog by clicking on the upper right "X"
  button.  When I do this, the entire application closes and pops up a
  smaller window.  I suspect maybe this is the crash handler, but it also
  does not paint the interior.  I end up having to kill the process from
  the command line.  The rest of Ubuntu functions normally all throughout
  the crash.
  
  I can drag-and-drop image files into the presentation successfully, and
  generally the rest of the program works as expected.
  
  I'm happy to run any tests anyone can suggest to try to narrow this
  down.  Rebooting the computer doesn't help.  I also re-installed every
  package for "openoffice" and "java" in Synaptic, but this also did not
  help.
  
  Thanks!
