Openoffice 2.3 loops and window doesn't refresh, killing process being the only way out, whenever opening any one file or trying to quit after saving a new one. The only error I've got with strace is this: (process:9449): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2248: initialization assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function (process:9449): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed (process:9449): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed If I'm working inside Gnome, this doesn't happen. If I am outside gnome (fluxbox here) but start with OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome, it works fine, but then another bug arrives, which is the menus opening in the corner of the screen instead of their places. I don't know if this other bug is related, because I have never forced desktop before. Another probably not related issue is my gtk+ apps using UTF-8 by default and not even G_FILENAME_ENCONDING=@locale being able to surpass this. I read there was solution to this last one, but couldn't apply it, so for now, due to these two maybe-non-related issues, I'm not willing to force using Gnome (although it looks much better). Reading around the web I found this is not a new bug, but it seems to have reappered now. Arch people confirms this, as it seems: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10035 I understand also that starting with another user (have tried superuser) doesn't trigger this bug (but triggers both the menu and the encoding issues). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. It seems it is AMD64 related, but can't confirm, and don't think it is version related, because it was going well with Openoffice-2.3 and started to happen all of a sudden. I've not been able to emerge 2.4 to see if it's gone then. 2. Open any one file; or 3. Save a new one (even blank) and try to close it. Actual Results: Openoffice seems to loop, consuming the whole CPU after a bunch of minutes, and strace shows these errors, one after another: (process:9449): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2248: initialization assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function (process:9449): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed (process:9449): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed Killing the process is the only way to get rid of the non-refreshing window. Expected Results: I guess Openoffice should be OK working inside any environment or window manager I throw it into. The only things I can think of that might be of interest, any other demanded information I'd be glad to give: 1. compiled with gtk kde firefox USE flags 2. I have two other issues regarding gnome, maybe, maybe not, related to this one: all my gtk+ apps ignore my locale settings, even with G_FILENAME ENCODING=iso8859-1 set, when it comes to filenames, and always default to UTF-8 all my gtk+ apps working outside gnome (without gnome-settings-daemon running, that is) require three clicks, instead of two, to open their file in the opening dialogs, or in the main window, for Nautilus. If I launch gnome-settings-daemon, then I can go with just two clicks. By the way, openoffice doesn't get any better with gnome-settings-daemon running.
[edit] I've just taken another look around the web but no help. Just to mention these proposed fixes that didn't work for me: Deleted my .ooo-2.0 folder # have forgotten to mention this; didn't work; G_SLICE=always-malloc # from http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194106 (a bug that didn't show up in the bugzilla search, strange) -- but I guess this would be for openoffice-bin, not my case; OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=kde # from http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=82078 and gentoo bugzilla #194106 again -- as expected, since the problem is outside gnome, not the other way around. It doesn't look to be gtk-theme related too, I've tried even Default and that's OK. There seems to be a whole lot a bunch of bugs like this, being the common aproach modifying OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=something_that_works, but I guess this would still be a bug, and as stated before, this rises two other bugs that I don't know how to address (except by using the OpenOffice dialog for the filename encoding issue, which leaves us with the annoying menu on the corner issue). Hope you devs/bug-wranglers can throw a light on this soon, I just don't know where else to look into.
Please post your emerge --info too, please.

2.12.9-r2. Neither one worked: 2.12.9-r2 goes the same way as my today's version (2.12.8), but 2.10.14 presented a rather different behaviour: instead of immediatly freezing, it managed to actually open a file, but crashed anyway when closing it, even without touching it. Strace gave me this different result, this time: (process:19245): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2248: initialization assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function (process:19245): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed (process:19245): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_recent_manager_get_for_screen: assertion `GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed (process:19245): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2248: initialization assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function (process:19245): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed (process:19245): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_recent_manager_add_item: assertion `GTK_IS_RECENT_MANAGER (manager)' failed I wish I knew where else to look at to help with this one, but I'm no expert you see.
Did you actually try with OpenOffice 2.4.0? Cause 2.3.0 isn't even in the tree anymore (for quite some time)
No, I haven't. I tried to emerge 2.4, but coudn't, and am aware that there are a lot of bugs preventing one from emerging it in several cases. I couldn't find out which is mine but couldn't emerge it nevertheless. Plus, this bug (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10035) shows the same behavior in 2.4, so I don't have reasons to believe that emerging 2.4 (even if I could) would solve the problem. On the other hand, there came up a workaround for this other bug: (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208766), which I mentioned earlier, so for now I'm using OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome with no problems, which I refer to anyone who might have this bug too. While none of this solves anything, it is a comfortable workaround and I would agree to leave this bug as WON'T FIX, and wait paciently for OpenOffice 3.0 (which I hope I will be able to emerge), so nobody has to frag his brains out for something that now looks just a minor problem.
(In reply to comment #5) > No, I haven't. I tried to emerge 2.4, but coudn't, and am aware that there are > a lot of bugs preventing one from emerging it in several cases. I couldn't find > out which is mine but couldn't emerge it nevertheless. Actually OOo 2.4 should emerge just fine on AMD64... Besides that, you really should file such bugs upstream, not too much we can do here.... http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/pre_submission.html
