Well, that's what the debian bug report produced, so don't what else
would be expected.  I'm by no means a software expert on this field, but
just a user.

I'm using the Debian nvidia drivers (nvidia-kernel-185.18.14 and
nvidia-glx).  I will have to try disabling it and use X's version and
tell you later whether that has any problems.  What I do know is that
removing/purging openoffice.org-gtk makes those dialogs useable.

Another thing that is broken (i.e. unuseable) is the scroll bars, when
using this package.  As soon as I hit anywhere in that bar, the little
rectangle that indicates where one's at in the page and the arrows at
the ends disappear, and it's impossible to tell what one is doing.
Again, I'll have to try disabling nvidia to tell you whether that is the
problem.

Thanks for pointing to nvidia, I would have never imagined that had
anything to do with this.
