Problem with openoffice 2.3.1 on freebsd...

[Kris Moore]

Here's a bit more follow up:

I found that by setting OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP="gnome" before running any of 
the office programs does allow them to function, without crashing. If 
you are on PC-BSD, you'll need to remove gtk-qt-engine first, since 
there is a bug with it and OO which makes icons disappear.

However, it still crashes with the same error if OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP is 
set to "kde" or it is unset, which I assume then auto-detects the KDE 
desktop I am using.


(process:2527): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2242: initialization 
assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function

(process:2527): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion 
`initialization_value != 0' failed

(process:2527): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion 
`G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed
