Hmm...,

	This is looking more like an Arch packaging issue. I tested on another Arch
x86_64 machine with the same setup but that box has an NVidia 8800GT card in
it. Same results. I went ahead and captured a screenshot to provie additional
detail:

	Here is a shot showing blank Style and Font Size combo boxes in oo-writer. The
text in the boxes randomly comes back and then disappears again after a hover
or an activate of the combo box. Note the cursor is in the Font combo-box so
there is no reason the Style or Size boxes should be blank.

	Here is a screenshot of the version information:

	If somebody else can confirm, I'll write the bug report. "Where" is the issue
again, arch or chakra? Let me know if you have any additional information. Thanks.
