Recent issues with Openoffice + WPAC

[RalfGesellensetter <rgx@gmx.de>]

Dear list,

did anybody of you ever face similar problems:

- drag & drop a picture from a browser (konq) onto a
  OOo 2.3 writer window (text document) while your 
  dsl router disallows direct access: OOo doesn't get
  the correct proxy settings (obviously) and HANGs.
  Don't know if this has to do with WPAC.

- Afterwards a soffice zombie keeps running and the user
  cannot re-start new instances of ooo. I consider creating
  a PANIC button for such occasions.

This occurrance was especially embarassing as it happened
to a class tought by our principal...

Thanks for any clarifications and comforts ;)

Regards
Ralf
