You're welcome, everyone! I'm glad it's useful, even in its current error-prone state. I just wish I hadn't made that mistake with the dbus names.. <_<; (Thanks Debernardis!)

I'm really sorry -- I was keeping notes on what I was doing as I went along, but accidentally deleted them and couldn't remember the exact file.

Comparing the versions I used to compile and your files, it looks like it's a symlink in /usr/lib from libart_lgpl_2.so.2.3.19 to libart_lgpl_2.so -- does that even make sense? It seems to compile just fine using entirely your versions of everything now, though.

Again, very sorry. I've spent a few hours trying to track this down, but haven't been able to. It seems like it's a figment of my imagination, but I swear it happened...

Wow. That was as great read, and my hat's off to Anidel (thank goodness he not only fixed it but posted how he fixed it) and to you for bringing that up. I'd have *never* thought it was that, but it could easily be -- the desktop and dbus service names were different, and then they were different again from the one called by osso_initialize in the code; it was exactly the same issue Xournal was having, and so I tried exactly the fix Anidel found, and it seems to work perfectly. At the very least, crashes are much reduced.

*Hopefully* that's now! It still won't accept stylus input, although the word completion pops up fine, but I updated the version in the repository with fixes along the lines of what Debernardis said -- it seems much, much more stable. It also 'uses' Chelli's libart -- although that's unrelated. (Or largely unrelated...?) which might help with people who get dependency errors while installing.

It's in my repository or you can get the deb here.

It might not install if you haven't installed Abiword before, though, so in that case use the install link.
