Just in case it helped, a few days ago I just upgraded to 1:3.2.0-9
(that's what interactive aptitude says I have, anyway) and the problem
persists. But openoffice does now come up again after a .fodt crash.
But it still won't do anything with .fodt files except crash.

Well, the version I have is the one for Debian squeeze, and it's hard to
imagine less support. I installed oponoffice.org-dev, too, just in case
it made a difference (Ubuntu users reported some success with it) but it
didn't help. It's hard to imaginee less support than I'm getting,
unless it's that there's some specific package that provides it (and I
don't know which one), or unless it means removing the menu item for
fodt in the save dialogue box (so I won't even *think* that it ought to
work).
