Strange warnings when using OpenOffice.org from SlackBuilds

Whenever I start OpenOffice.org, I get many warnings. These documents I have on OpenOffice is very important so I can't afford losing it or crashing/losing data and seeing these warning makes me worried.

I'm getting:

Code:
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
>Warning: Duplicate shape name ""

It seems like a warning about keyboard but I have no idea why I get these warnings when running openoffice.org. I did a search and found people getting similar warnings but nothing was able to fix this problem.

I already tried what they recommended but it didn't solve it so I resorted on making this thread.

Thank you very much for the reply though.

Just warnings so i don't thing these are harmful at all.

I also receive these (using rworkman package) but never lost any documents.

ok, i understand. I also agree that generally warnings can be safely ignored at times, they are more informative in nature.

who's package are you using?

if it matters, i build my package using the autobuilding script from slacky.eu, i have never faced any problems.

FYI:- It works in 64bit flawlessly.

I am using rworkman's package.

It seems like other people are getting warnings from rworkman's package as well. If it's not harmless, then I guess I shouldn't be worried about it but due to my personality, I get extremely worried seeing those on a system that I can't risk losing any documents on. Does those warning means it's just using the default setting instead?

I tried out your way and got:

Code:
Start building...:
- clean necessary after old run
- extract tarball of openoffice, wait...
- remove jre included
- extract tarball's rpms of openoffice, wait...
- reorder openoffice's directory tree
- link the mozilla-plugin
- add menu entry
- manage run file
- force gtk/gnome integration
- add documentation
- insert slack install files
- add pdfimport extension from http://extensions.services.openoffice.org
- add pagination extension from http://extensions.services.openoffice.org
- active all extensions (before close all process of openoffice and remove .openoffice.org* on root)
- build package, wait...
- your package is saved on /tmp/tgz
- make files checksum and desc
build done.
Cleaning...:
clean done.
all done. bye ;)

I installed it and I can't seem to run it. Maybe I'm making a mistake, I'm on my second day with no sleep so I'll try again later. I been caught up with it too much since this is the last thing that was keeping me booting into windows daily. I tried out openoffice (never used it before), it worked great and it can replace my microsoft office because it fits all my needs.

oh! dear!

ok, is this warning message disrupting your daily usage of openoffice. I mean are you facing any problems? ...anyway i had a look at you xorg.conf, its exactly like mine (without the extra optimizations).

i Googled a lot too, could not find anything concrete.

It isn't disrupting the daily usage yet but I never used it enough to find any disrupting behaviors. Google didn't help at all either. This is strange..

If I do

# setxkbmap se

Then start openoffice, I get this short warnings instead:

Code:
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
Warning: Type "ONE_LEVEL" has 1 levels, but <RALT> has 2 symbols
>        Ignoring extra symbols

I guess I'll just ignore it. It seems to be working normally without any issues so far.
