This bug was brought up by noting that on ia64, the setup command by openoffice fails to run; however, there is no feedback provided to the user that this is the case and that there is some sort of a problem preventing OpenOffice.org from running. When the "setup" script fails to return successfully, the user should be informed somehow - the best way would probably be by a simple error message. Maybe 'zenity' could be used from the shell script? zenity --error --title "OpenOffice.org problem" --text "OpenOffice.org failed to initialize properly." or something similar.
The setup script is ditched in rawhide 1.9.8X
