Description crusaderky 2007-02-09 12:42:49 UTC

If I open any openoffice application from the xfce menu, i.e. "OpenOffice.org 2.1 Calc" (oocalc2), an empty openoffice window is opened instead of a new spredsheet, as if I opened ooffice2 instead.

If some openoffice window is already opened, nothing happens and no new window opens up.

I've got openoffice-bin-2.1.0, but this also happened with all 2.0.x versions (don't know about 1.x).

This happens both with XFCE 4.2.3.2 as well as XFCE 4.4.0.
It does NOT happen with KDE, nor it does when launching oocalc2/oowriter2 etc. from a terminal.
