openoffice2 not showing widgets in breezy amd64

that's unreproducible for me, please attach a screenshot.

the link posted on the original comment reproduces exactly what happens also with openoffice.

the link doesn't show anything related to openoffice.org.

it seems the comment didn't get in.

I tracked down this issue. The problem is with gtk themes on 32-bit apps
running on Breezy-amd64. Any widget which has a pixmap will not show on
32-bit apps.

To reproduce the issue: try the smokey-blue or grand-canyon theme and
look at openoffice widgets on the "tools-options" window (or any 32-bit
gtk app you can run on Breezy-amd64).

I don't know if ia32-libs-openoffice.org is the correct place to post
this - perhaps the most correct would be change it to ia32-libs-gtk (as
gdk-pixbuf seems to be the responsible for this).

correct, this is fixed in current dapper. For breezy you might want to
manually set in the environment

  GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE=/etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules.32

before calling OOo.

It worked only when I set
export GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE=/etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules.32
export GCONV_PATH=/usr/lib32/gconv
export GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE=/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.locaders.32
export GTK_PATH=/usr/lib32/gtk-2.0
export PANGO_RC_FILE=/etc/pango32/pangorc

And did a
sed 's:/usr/lib/:/usr/lib32/:' < /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders > /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders.32

sed 's:/usr/lib/:/usr/lib32/:' < /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules > /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules.32

It seems quite improbable that this bug will ever be fixed for breezy, and it is closed for dapper already - I suggest we close it and leave it here for breezy users just for reference.

the fix is posted as comment above for breezy, and it is not necessary for dapper.
