When receiving some ppt-spreadsheet (or other doc) in mozilla-mail (on SuSE 9.2), I can try to open it, which will open a URL like mailbox:///home/bertram/mozmail/movemail/Inbox?number=30515521&part=1.2&type=application/vnd.ms-powerpoint&filename=filename.ppt

In the process listing I can see, that a new process has been started (so the MIME type seems to be correct):

/usr/lib/ooo-1.1/program/soffice.bin -nologo /tmp/plugtmp-2/filename.ppt

However, no window ever comes up. Even worse, now additional attempts to start ooffice in a terminal will work anymore:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> ooffice
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> echo $?
0


It immediately comes back with no indication what happened.


I have two workarounds:
1. close all navigator windows first, then try to open the attachment - this works OK, and the started process now is:


/usr/lib/ooo-1.1/program/soffice.bin /tmp/filename.ppt

Note there is no '-nologo'.

2. kill the ooffice that is in the nirvana, and run that cmdline in a Konsole:

/usr/lib/ooo-1.1/program/soffice.bin -nologo /tmp/plugtmp-2/filename.ppt

Now the window comes up properly.


Other attachments (like pdf) always successfully open (and bring up their window), so it does not seem to be an issue with the DISPLAY ...


Can anyone explain that?

Bertram
