Kindly review http://bugs.gentoo.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#bug_severity
same here
Does directly starting /usr/lib/openoffice/program/swriter work for you? Other than that: You'll have to compile with USE="gtk" to get ooqstart working atm, this is a rather unfortunate situation for KDE-only users. Sorry for that, we definately have to find a solution here, fast.
Starting directly /usr/lib/openoffice/program/swriter works for me fine.
So what happened here: Upstream removed the support for the old-style wrapper which was used for builds without gtk (which don't build the quickstarter), which results in the broken behaviour you see. I've now readded the wrapper stuff, so this should work as before again. Unfortunately this means you'll have to rebuild... Sorry for the inconvenience. Please give the mirrors some time to sync then try again and please report back, if it works now for you.
JFYI, I added this hack to ooo-build: http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/ooo-build/trunk/patches/src680/hack_ooqstart-glib.diff
I just ran into this too, except with one catch: This build works: [ebuild R ] app-office/openoffice-2.1.0 USE="branding cups java kde pam -binfilter -cairo -dbus -debug -eds -firefox -gnome -gstreamer -gtk -ldap -odk -seamonkey% -sound -webdav" LINGUAS="en -af -ar -as_IN -be_BY -bg -bn -bs -ca -cs -cy -da -de -el -en_GB -en_US -en_ZA -es -et -fa -fi -fr -gu_IN -he -hi_IN -hr -hu -it -ja -km -ko -lt -lv -mk -nb -nl -nn -nr -ns -or_IN -pa_IN -pl -pt -pt_BR -ru -rw -sh_YU -sk -sl -sr_CS -st -sv -sw_TZ -ta_IN -te_IN -tg -th -ti_ER -tn -tr -ts -ur_IN -ve -vi -xh -zh_CN -zh_TW -zu" 0 kB This build does not: [ebuild R ] app-office/openoffice-2.1.0 USE="branding cups kde pam -binfilter -cairo -dbus -debug -eds -firefox -gnome -gstreamer -gtk -java -ldap -odk -seamonkey% -sound -webdav" LINGUAS="en -af -ar -as_IN -be_BY -bg -bn -bs -ca -cs -cy -da -de -el -en_GB -en_US -en_ZA -es -et -fa -fi -fr -gu_IN -he -hi_IN -hr -hu -it -ja -km -ko -lt -lv -mk -nb -nl -nn -nr -ns -or_IN -pa_IN -pl -pt -pt_BR -ru -rw -sh_YU -sk -sl -sr_CS -st -sv -sw_TZ -ta_IN -te_IN -tg -th -ti_ER -tn -tr -ts -ur_IN -ve -vi -xh -zh_CN -zh_TW -zu" 0 kB The only difference here is that the one that works has the java USE flag (and consequently, its /usr/bin/ooffice2 is a longer perl script rather than a 4 line bash script that calls ooqstart) The above builds were on different computers, but used the same distfiles and ebuilds (locally mirrored).

(In reply to comment #8) > You try to help nailing down a bug that is already fixed, see Comment #5 > I saw that comment, but I didn't see any mention of the java USE flag there, only the gtk USE flag. I thought the problem might have been more complex than originally thought. Nevertheless, OOo is now building (x3)...
What about quickstarter support for openoffice-bin-2.1.0?
Ok, original problem seems to be solved, so closing. @Fabio: That would be another bug
@Andreas: I have found this bug #136879. Aren't you going to provide the same functionality also to openoffice-bin? If you don't want to build a custom openoffice-bin version, is it possible to have a separate openoffice-bin-quickstart package?
