OpenOffice crashes compiz on F 14

[Kirk Lowery]

The subject line pretty well summarizes it. I've got a vanilla Fedora 14
box, with the default theme and compiz enabled. Compiz works fine until I
try to do *anything* with Oo.o. Then it crashes.

I've googled around and apparently Oo.o has had issues with gnome gtk  and
compiz, but I was unable to come up with a workaround except to disable
compiz.

Suggestions?

TIA!

A stacktrace would probably give more indication whats going on.

My OO just doesn't start any more on F14. I have compiz and it's not crashing but
my OO won't launch. I noticed this just before the Christmas break.

I've had a similar issue. I've filed in BZ -
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=666603

The issue is, atleast in my case, a residual file in /tmp that has the following
initial letters: OSL_PIPE followed by a series of numbers.  Deleting that file
then allowed for oo.o to start properly.

hope this helps.

This is not my issue. The problem is when I enter compiz. Then when I try to
open any openoffice application, X-Windows freezes.

I tracked my issue with strace as follows:

strace ooimpress file.odp

perhaps if you could do that from a terminal, we can narrow this down.

I also recognized problems with compiz. When i try to watch flash videos 
via streaming in firefox, then the picture doesn´t move, when i toggle 
full screen. But still the videos is running, cause i can hear the 
sound. Whenn i switch back to normal screen, the picture begins to move 
again and everything is normal...

I am not sure what you are doing but I am running compiz and Open office
components open for me.

Hmmm. Since that's the case, then it's not compiz per se that's the issue,
then. I wonder if it's the Emerald theme or one of the compiz
plugins...strace is the answer and I'll make time to do it in the next
couple of days...

Blessings,

I have the Compiz and the Emerald Theme (and Ciaro dock) and my OpenOffice is now working
fine (since I deleted that tmp file).
