But 2.4 is still in development (I > think) so things like that might be to be expected. According to what can be read on the page I sent with my previous mail, it seems to be a GTK-related issue. I confirm that all 7-stable OpenOffice packages (including 2.3.1_1) work perfectly on my plain 7.0-RELEASE/i386 install, but with *up-to-date* ports, not with precompiled packages shipped as a part of the release. So, 1) Update your ports, and don't forget ports/UPDATING; 2) Try OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome if you're using KDE. - -- Nikola Lečić = Никола Лечић fingerprint : FEF3 66AF C90E EDC3 D878 7CDC 956D F4AB A377 1C9B ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.8 (FreeBSD) iJwEAQEDAAYFAkfr6XgACgkQ/MM/0rYIoZh7ewP8CyNUX0MYsVYkxv1W8Zxn3ztz B6ZpRp4m92/hmXVqSZXH1KEiorfW/eyMHrJcDK5nFznoNKxwtecNf07xDUeb2ehv orZdcOMA8vX+mXNLld2jBtjAWDQe2JUuxZtcIORDi2SQOBYihFUsZ5xntYmozxyT o8RLgqLCJJ7XL62EFh4= =feff -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
