OpenOffice.org3 crashes when I try to open the tools dropdown menu

Well... here's the problem... The crash occurs in every OpenOffice3 application and is annoying...
Here's the console output:

(process:3066): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2458: initialization assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function

export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome

Re: OpenOffice.org3 crashes when I try to open the tools dropdown menu

Launching it as 

OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome /opt/openoffice/program/soffice -writer

export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome
doesn't work for me...

put that export directly in /usr/bin/soffice

I found that works best.

Re: OpenOffice.org3 crashes when I try to open the tools dropdown menu

Im also experiencing this issue, and export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome does not help for me either, but OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome /opt/openoffice/program/soffice -writer works great.

Thank you guys!

Re: OpenOffice.org3 crashes when I try to open the tools dropdown menu

Hmmm, none off the options above works for me. It just crashes with the following message: "terminate called after throwing an instance of 'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException' ".... don't know what to do yikes

I tested this today, and it seems to work fine. It's wierd how the export thing does not work though, as i recall using that in the past, to make OO 2.x look a bit better.

I found this in BUGS: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/11716

This seems to be the same problem we are discussing.

I had the same problem, got it solved by installing libxslt

Re: OpenOffice.org3 crashes when I try to open the tools dropdown menu

As far as the

export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome

goes, make sure you have it in ~/.bashrc and any autostart files for your WM! This includes ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh.

Re: OpenOffice.org3 crashes when I try to open the tools dropdown menu

that export stops the thing crashing, but there are problems with this. firstly it makes half the Icons disappear so the program is still very hard to use. and secondly, a badly broken interface is included in the package and enabled by default.

Re: OpenOffice.org3 crashes when I try to open the tools dropdown menu

I want to thank the maintainer for updating the package to set the export to prevent the crash. However I still have the problem with the buttons dissappearing.

Re: OpenOffice.org3 crashes when I try to open the tools dropdown menu

The only problem with using the gnome UI is that the font's are ass-ugly on LCD screens...antialiased or not.

I want this fixed...please? There's gotta be a hack or workaround. I used the gnome export to set everything the way I wanted, and then switched back to KDE...there's not much in the tools menu I need outside of that, but for completeness' sake, it would be kinda nice so that I could set the font scaling to an appropriate size on the menus.

Re: OpenOffice.org3 crashes when I try to open the tools dropdown menu

Could you not just link the system freetype2 libs into the OOo directory instead of rebuilding the libs?
