Add generic LibreOffice support

We need to see one of the .desktop files it installs. Please attach the .desktop file for one of the apps (Writer?) as well as the output of:

ps -ef | grep -i writer

while Writer is running (or whatever LO app you want, we just need to see one example).

The latest dev build of Docky *should* already support LibreOffice (as installed by Ubuntu). As such, if it isn't working with these custom/direct builds, we need the information above to see why.

I cannot currently provide to you all data that you need. I had a bad day with linux and i have deleted it from hard drive in anger.

Sorry :)

But between debs is package "libreoffice3.4-debian-menus_3.4-203_all.deb" responsible for creating desktop files.

Some of them are attached, hope they will help...

In GNOME menus are LO apps branded with 3.4 version number.
For example "LibreOffice 3.4 Writer" and the command is "libreoffice3.4 -writer"

Are you sure you are using our dev PPA? And not the 'stable' PPA? This appears to already be supported in our dev PPA (as long as the window's WM_CLASS starts with 'libreoffice', which Im guessing it does).

Yes, Docky 2.2 from dev ppa. because stable version for lucid is old..

The problem occurs for me too in spite of Docky 2.2 from dev ppa (ubuntu 11.04 natty).

We need the WM_CLASS of the windows. To get this, run Writer and then from a terminal run:

xprop | grep WM_CLASS

and click on the Writer window.

running xprop | grep WM_CLASS and clicking on the LibreOffice Writer window yields this:

WM_CLASS(STRING) = "VCLSalFrame", "libreoffice-writer"

This is still happening when running docky under fresh install of ubuntu 11.10 and when using the gnome shell. I haven't tried under unity.

Same here on Linux Mint 11 using the Docky 2.2 from dev PPA :(

[Expired for Docky because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

Bug still exists in Ubuntu 11.10 with LibreOffice 3.4 and latest Docky from development PPA (2.2.0 bzr1819).

fixed in trunk 1824

Thanks for this!

With Libreoffice it now works ok!

However I have tested it with gnome-power-statistics and it shows a blurry icon (with gnome-power-preferences it is ok), while in AWN and in Dockbarx the icon is correctly displayed. Can you also fix that?

Thanks

That is a separate bug, please file it separately.
