F16 security spin, LibreOffice instabilities

[Joel Rees]

Lenovo S-100 pseudo-netbook (intel 64 running 32 bit) with Fedora
installed from the F16 Security spin (LXDE) live USB.

Posted earlier, no response, about it generally hanging the X11
session on logout if I switch to a virtual console to do something
while logged in on an X11 session. Can telinit 2 and 5 to get it back
once or twice.

Trying to use LibreOffice, if I open more than one document, quitting
tends to kill the panel, leaving things in an awkward, partially
functioning state. Can keep doing things I don't need the panel for.

I'm sure I need some library for LibreOffice that didn't get picked up
in the dependency check when I installed it. Anyone have a suggestion?

Okay, that does look like it's not a LibreOffice issue.

Oh. Not good news. Kind of wish I had time to volunteer, but I have
too many other things at higher priority, so that's never going to
happen.

I've been happy with XFCE, so I just installed that (and sugar, for
fun) yesterday, and there are no problems in XFCE sessions.

The cause is likely the LXPanel only. You could search for the thread:
Re: [PM] lxpanel keeps crashing with Libre Office, on the lxde mailing
archive list. There is a workaround (but it is not very productive).

Or: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=803098 for information.

LXDE panel has currently no maintainer and I was collecting all the
bugs on this particular notebook, among which: LO, ibus, Firefox icons
were making the panel freeze.

I have installed xfce-panel, at last. And everything works fine now.

First I tried re-installing LXDE, and that actually may have taken
care of the problem with LXDE freezing on logout.

Then I tried

yum group erase "Office/Productivity"

(checking yum group list) and the corollary group install.

No change for LibreOffice. Still kills the panel on the way out.

Try having yum reinstall it.
