New subject: OpenOffice 4 wants gtk2-tqt-engine

19 Jul 2023

Hi,
	I'm forwarding this from the Users list as Mike suggested.  It's a side-issue 
to my attempt to debug an OpenOffice problem, but it would be nice to know 
why some TDE components try to write to /etc/tqt3/tqt_plugins_3.5rc.tmp, 
which of course is not writable by non-root accounts?

 Hi Leslie,

 Looking at the stack trace the problem was deep within OpenOffice, probably
 while analyzing a true type font while cataloging fonts, perhaps while
 preparing a menu of fonts.

 The mention of gtk2 engine seems to be spurious.  Nor does there seem to be
 any connection with TDE.

 Possibly an OpenOffice bug or a broken font.

 But then this is all wrapped in a "dp_misc::syncRepositories()".  Are you
 syncing labels?  Syncing with OneDrive?  Syncing something else?  I can
 only guess what that function might do.  You may need to talk to an
 OpenOffice list.

Mike,
	When I start OpenOffice from the command line, I see this:

| @16:27:21 ─▶leslie@pinto◀─

| [2023/07/18 16:27:35.332] TQSettings::sync: failed to 
open '/etc/tqt3/tqt_plugins_3.5rc.tmp' for writing
| Application Error[kcrash] TDECrash: 
Application 'soffice.bin-gtk-tqt-application' crashing...
| rc=253

	Probably this is a red-herring, but why would an application (or Trinity?) be
trying to write a file into /etc/?  (I tried making that file world-writable, 
but I get the same error.)
