Since several people have had success with version 3.2, I suppose I
should try it again, just to make sure I'm really talking about the right
version. It's [possible I misremember a detail of what I didn, or that
somehow I was still getting the old version after installing the new
one .. maybe some process was still accessible form the window manager
cache, or something like that. I'll try again after a full shutdown and
reboot just to make sure everything is as it seems.
I know at one time with the older version, when I couldn't get it to come
up after the crash, I found a process called something like soffice-bin
was still hanging around. I killed it and OpenOffice (which I had
previously started from the command line with no apparent success) came
up immediately. Maybe there was something like that going on after the
upgrade???
Thanks. I'll be back with a success report, or else with a fully
detailed failure!
