http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=16937 Thanks Christian. If you'd like someone to test as you go along I'll be happy to volunteer. Just drop me a note directly. I can test in linix (Ubuntu 8.04, 9.04, and 9.10 - Gnome) and Windows (but only Win2K or WinXP). I've several dual-boot test machines, so not worried if patches bork an standard OOo, or an Ubuntu/ximian and/or regular Windows go-oo OOo.
