Version 2.0.4 beta 3 is crashing when trying to open about window.

It's the version from his test repository, so I assign it to him.

The apport crash report of the first problem : after the about window

This crash report seems to be an assertion failure.

If you run this from the command line:
  $ /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin -writer -splash-pipe=5
what do you see after it crashes?

Thanks.

Here is what I saw :

nicolas@spiralo_vertigo:~$ /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin -writer -splash-pipe=5
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b

It is fixed now in 2.0.4rc3ubuntu2. Thanks for your work !

It seems that it had been fixed now, so as the reporter, I mark it as "Fix Released"
