Bug#290902: openoffice.org: Starts on wrong X display if the same user is logged in on another X display on the same machine.
Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1.1.2dfsg1-3
Severity: important
We are using one generic account for guests in our pc pool. We have
four computers which are using the same X server at machine "server".
If only one user (eg. at machine client1) opens openoffice there are no
problems. But if another user (eg. at client2) wants to open openoffice
she/he receives the message "OpenOffice.org lockfile found
(/home/generic/.openoffice/1.1.2/.lock) Using existing OpenOffice.org"
and the document is opened in the session at client1 (which is quite
confusing for the user at client1 :)).
I know that there are other programs which cannot handle this situation.
But they are providing work arounds such as user profiles (eg. in
mozilla).
