OpenOffice: kdefilepicker crash, workaround
Having done an ostensibly successful KDE upgrade it turns out the kdefilepicker file selection
dialogue thingy has a tendency to crash.
Just when I needed to open and print a file from OpenOffice.
apt -s dist-upgrade reveals the existence updated KDE packages,
but that's more downloads than I have time for.
The quick fix workaround is to remove the OpenOffice_org-kde
RPM package. Once removed, OpenOffice's own file picking
stuff works - only the KDE eye candy is missing. I think I can live
with that.
Update: more inforamtion on the bug can be found here: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100849.
