why does openoffice.org always go in the crapper a week after i install suse 9.1? i try to open any associated program and it open and immediately it closes again. I haven't even logged onto the konsole as superuser yet, so i know i didn't delete anything stupid. i unistalled it and then installed it again and it still doesn't work. help.

I've had a similar problem after upgrading KDE to 3.3 (or3.2?). The original links did not work anymore, but I could start it throught the link/script in my user directory (/home/user/OpenOffice.org1.1/soffice).

Maybe this works for you, too.

I had a sililar problem after installing the baghira theme. If you've installed it, try uninstalling it.

ahhh! stupid baghira! that's exactly when stuff started to go crazy. that makes so much sense. i'll let you know how it goes.

as posted above, you can just change your icons/menu to point to the actual file in your home/OpenOffice directory

soffice -writer for writer
soffice -calc for calc/spreadsheets
soffice -impress for powerpoint-like presentations
soffice -draw

you get it...
For some reason, KDE update breaks the links in Suse. Haven't run Baghira in a while, but presumably the same problem...
