Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 5279
OpenOffice crashes on first startup after 'import address book'

Starting OpenOffice 1.0 as a regular user will not work. After it shows the 'import address book' dialog, it will exit even if 'Cancle' is selected. Only 'root' is able to run OpenOffice. Configuration: RedHat 7.3 'Laptop' install, no other modifications/updates applied. The issue does not show up in a RedHat 7.3 'Complete' install.
Looks like an incorrect net- workstation-installation ! Run setup with parameter -net and after that installation start setup as different user from the recently done -net - installation to install a workstation-installation. Start that Office and everythink should work fine !
