From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: oowriter, oocalc symlinks to the ooffice script do not launch writer, calc etc when executed. Instead only a blank screen is presented. The bug is due to the setting of $BinSuffix in ooffice to 1.1 while the wrapper scripts installed lack the 1.1 suffix. To fix either set $BinSuffix to '' (null string) or install the wrapper symlinks as oowriter1.1, oocalc1.1 etc. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-1.1.3-5.5.0.fc3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run oowriter from command line or click on writer icon on gnome desktop / menu system. 2. 3. Actual Results: Open office application runs but presents a blank screen. Expected Results: A blank writer / calc / impress document should be presented. Additional info:
