I think that it would be the other side of the same problem. 
Sorry if I was wrong.

Sorry for my English. I try:
If I select from menu Edit - Database - Connection Type (or right mouse
click - Database - Connection Type), I must get the dialog for selecting
connection type but I get nothing.

I have installed vanilla openoffice 3.1.0 debs from openoffice.org.
There Base works excellent but all other applications (Calc, Writer,
Impress) always crash.

Best regards
