Description: First encountered the problem when I tried to load a .xls file in openoffice from testing. soffice.bin goes up to 100% cpu load and stays this way for ever (well i waited like a minute and killed it then). Same happens when trying to save a .xls file and *after* saving a .odt file.


Additional info:
openoffice 2.4.0-1 from testing

Steps to reproduce:
- Start new spreadsheet
- enter random data
- try to save the file
This task depends upon

No crash trying to reproduce your step or opening a random xls file, I tried this one : http://www.sudoku-xls.com/download.html

Me too, also when opening .rtf files.

works for me. see also http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=36768&p=2 - were you affected by that glib issue and tried the patch?

Happens here too. Happens when I tried to load any kind of file. I am running full testing and using KDE.

Running from a console I get this output:
$ soffice

(process:18836): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2242: initialization assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function
(process:18836): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed

The patch in the forum worked for me. It also worked setting OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome in the environment but this is merely a workaround as it is desireable to run within kde with the lde style widgets.

Same here, also with MS *.doc files in oowriter

No problems here, whatsoever. using gnome though.

openoffice-base-2.4.0-0.2 fixes the problem for me. Thanks.
