I'm currently using the squeeze version of OO. I'm not sure if this is a probem with 3.1 or earlier versions
I also have this phenomenon. Even when it wouldn't start any longer in LXDE, there is no problem with debbie. In order to have OO start again in LXDE, I need to do a closechroot before restarting LXDE. (So no need to reboot the device at least)

Doing a closechroot worked. Thanks for suggestion.
Now the first start up of OO is 20s from LXDE and about 3s to 4s the second try. Although a minor thing, hopefully the closeroot step can be ommited at some point.

qole, any idea of how to fix that?
Sigh. Eric must be another app that has "broken" keyboard focus.

I thought that you have to do the same trick to Eric that you do to Xephyr when starting LXDE. But I installed eric4 and tried to get the keyboard to work with fixkbdfocus, qobi-wmhint-fix, and set-focus, none of which seemed to work.

Probably eric4 suffers from the same problems as qobi was experiencing with emacs, and it might need his method for solving it... Although I think that is already one of the two programs that I tried (qobi-wmhint-fix and set-focus).

How hard is it to associate ODF files with Easy Debian OOo?

Check out dbus-switchboard and look at the end of this thread for help.

OK, that was hard to figure out, but easy to implement.

These are the basic steps as of right now:
  1. Enable extras-devel and install dbus-switchboard
  2. Restart the device
  3. In Maemo's File Manager, clik on a .odt file (for example).
  4. In the select application list select dbus switchboard.

And that is it, your file is opened with OOo Writer.

Now, I have to figure out how to make last step unnecessary. If someone can give me a tip it will be much appreciated.

Sadly, that doesn't seem to work for me - though it might just as well be because I'm not sure I fully understood the instructions. Despite being a developer I'm still a terrible noob when it comes to OS specific things.

Guess I'll just have to wait until a different fix (or some idiot proof way for using the current ones) surfaces that actually works with Eric. Until then I'll just enjoy it from within LXDE.

Though, correct me if I got this wrong - using it from within will not allow for instant testing, since there's no way to get access to the Maemo python instance?

Anyway, thanks a lot for your help, rebhana & qole!

Actually, that's no problem at all. Just save your work in a subdirectory of /home/user and it is accessible from both Debian and Maemo.

So just keep a Maemo terminal open and you can run your python programs from there. Flip back and forth with the Ctrl-backarrow.

Sweet, I didn't even realise this works from within LXDE - once again, thanks qole! That makes for a perfect workflow now.
