the uninett.no mirror is also out of date.

I grabbed the latest version from
http://ftp.freenet.de/pub/ftp.vpn-junkies.de/openoffice/ woody main contrib
and did get 1.0.2.  Sadly, it doesn't solve my display problem.

Interestingly, I have two computers set up as Debian 3.0 machines,
and if I remote log in from the other workstation, it displays fine!
So perhaps it's an X thing?

The other Debian machine, by the way, can't install the openoffice deb at
all; it complains (probably because I used some unstable packages at
some point in the past):
  openoffice.org: Depends: openoffice.org-bin (> 1.0.1-pre1.0.2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages

but I'd rather fix the display problem first.

I guess I should wipe both systems and reinstall Debian from
scratch.  How very painful...
