Howdy. I have a strange problem with LO 3.3.2 that I don't with OO 3.3.0. When I select File -> Open in Writer, or click the Open File icon, nothing happens. No dialog box, no errors, nothing (well, the icon indicates reception of the mouse click). However, I can open files with Writer as an argument to lowriter. I don't see any errors from the shell when I perform the problem steps. I've tried to strace it, but that is certainly a slow-going process. I'll be glad to offer more info by request, and I'll attach a emerge --info. Thanks in advance!

So, I got help from shm_get in #libreoffice on Freenode. LibreOffice apparantly uses (at least for now) the same shell environment variables as OpenOffice. So, when I prepend "OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome" to "lowriter", viola, I can get the Open File GTK dialog. I guess because I don't run Gnome, but have GTK (and have QT, without a full KDE), the default is to... do nothing? I run Fluxbox, and I can deal with this, but I'd think something better should be thought up for out-of-the-box function for those who live a bit more simply. :) (And for the Fluxbox users who may happen by here, here's an example "menu" file entry to make this work: [exec] (LOWriter) {OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome lowriter} ) Cheers!
Do you still see this with 3.4.1?
No feedback, can't reproduce, so closing
