OpenOffice 2.3 crashing continously

Does this happen for you with a new empty document? If not does it happen for every document that you try? If not can you include a document that causes this problem to appear?

I was unable to make it crash on my system, which is why I wanted to get some more details from you.

Thanks,

Chris Cheney

This happens always. I have reinstalled the whole OOo suite, but this still remains.

I launched it from the terminal, here's the output:

It now works fine! I don't know why, but it now works fine!

This morning I had problems with an update, after a reboot Gnome didn't load some of my preferences. After a second reboot everything worked fine, including OO.org. It's very strange, I don't know if it is related with the update, but now it's all ok.

Can this be closed, then? Or shall we mark it as a dupe to bug 144073
