[SOLVED] toolbar buttons missing (but fixed) in Openoffice

esteeven · 08-16-2010, 09:48 AM

In Slackware 13.1, my OpenOffice menu buttons did not appear after installing the Slackbuild from slackbuild.org. I think this is a common issue. After reading around, I put

Code:

export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=kde

into my /etc/profile. OpenOffice now opens fine and all the menu button icons are present and correct but this only happens if I start OO from the CLI. This is fine for me but other users of this system will use the kicker menu. The problem is that this starts OpenOffice with no toolbar buttons. How can I apply

Code:

export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=kde

to my menu buttons?

Thanks

Hmmm. I also have the same issue on my KDE4 Debian box. The solution is the same : if I input

Code:

export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=kde

in a terminal and then run oowriter from the CLI, everything is okay.

I have just been playing on my Debian box and added

Code:

export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=kde

to /etc/openoffice/sofficerc and my toolbars work!

edit: I will test on the Slackware box later.

Results in Slackware:

I edited sofficerc in /opt/openoffice.org3/program and added the line

Code:

export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=kde

and all is well so far.
