Thanks for the tip. I tried to get it to work with something like:

oowriter -env:UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.openoffice2_$(echo $DISPLAY | sed '/[:\.]//g')

This made each instance use a different UserInstallation directory, but unfortunately, they still used the same wrong session or failed to launch completely.

I found a bug that has been filed on the issue, which is currently marked as an "enhancement", but for so many scenarios, this is a pretty serious bug.

Thanks for the help. Anyone have other ideas on how to work around this bug?

Thanks,
-Steve Prentice

I have a LTSP lab and all machines use the same user account. This
works great for every application that we need except OpenOffice.
OpenOffice opens all new windows on the x session of the user who
first opened OpenOffice.

Any ideas on how I can force OpenOffice to use the value from
$DISPLAY or other solutions?

This is on an Edubuntu 6.06 system.

Thanks,
