Listmates,
I installed koffice and attempted to open an openoffice (.odt) document and kword crashed immediately. Next I opened kword again to read through the help file and any notes, and the help doesn't seem to work either:

The backtrace for the kword crash is:

Is there a work-around that will let me get the help file working? It looks to be a kde3 desktop/kde4 runtime issue. Any help appreciated.
OOOH,
This is much worse than I thought. kword will not even open a text file without crashing. Where does this bug go? Arch, kdemod or kde?. I seems like it should go to Arch because there is something wildly incompatible between the koffice build and kde3. Here is the additional kcrash backtract from trying to open the text file if that will help sort out where the bug should go. Thanks.
Also, here is the *contents* of the 1-line txt file kword crashed trying to open:

Yes, that is the total 22 byte contents that crashed kmail. And this is a RC release???
I guess its time for you to upgrade to KDE4... The Arch package is a KDE4 package. IIRC you are still using KDE3. Although i certainly dont guarantee this will work. -- Greg
