Package: openoffice.org
Version: 1.1.3-4
Severity: normal


If the user logs out without having quit OOo first (including cases like X crashed
etc.), OOo will remain running, unaware that it should quit itself.

When the user logs back in and tries to run OOo, no window appears because OOo
finds the "running session" and tries to open the new window there, but since that
X display no longer exists, nothing happens (from the user's viewpoint).

It is especially strange that if Ooo tries to open a new window in a non-existent
X display, it does not detect that X has crashed, as if the window can open
successfully without errors even without a functional X.

The user has to "killall -9 soffice.bin" to make OOo become responsive again.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Log in (e.g., to Xfce4)
2. Run oowriter (e.g.)
3. Log out without quitting oowriter first
4. Log back in and try to open some Ooo document

This seems to have been fixed in the version in unstable.

PS: The word "warning" should be "reminder". The letter has an
extremely threatening tone because of the word "warning" being used.
