Wanted to comment on the fact, that ooffice opens with failure depending on the command line argument.
The following commands work fine for me, assuming I'm in my home directory
pwd # /home/sebastian
soffice --anything
touch helloworld.odt; soffice helloworld.odt
touch hellobigbigworld.odt; soffice hellobigbigworld.odt
touch hellobigbigbigworld.odt; soffice hellobigbigbigworld.odt
NOW, by increasing the length of the filename by 1
touch hellobigbigbigworlds.odt; soffice hellobigbigbigworlds.odt
it does not work any longer and throws the locking assertion failure!
Also
soffice /home/sebastian/helloworld.odt
does NOT work, NOR does
cd /tmp
soffice --anything
touch helloworld.odt; soffice helloworld.odt
And this is really strange... If it works or not, not only depends on the filename of the document (or the command line argument in general), but also interacts with the working directory `pwd`!
Final note: I'm using ubuntu hardy with kernel release 2.6.24-19-generic on x86_64 AMD architecture and latest updates, especially those concerning the openoffice suite version 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu1, published on 2008-06-17. (I did not change anything in the soffice starting script.)
