openoffice.org-kde crashes on a fresh install of Kubuntu Karmic

[Frederic Mercille]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org-kde

Fresh install of Kubuntu Karmic Koala (9.10), followed by an apt-get upgrade to get up-to-date patches.
Current version of OpenOffice.org is 3.1.1 - OOO310m19 (Build:9420)

Steps to reproduce :

(make sure openoffice.org-kde is installed)
1) Launch OpenOffice.org
2) Open the "Extension Manager" dialog (Tools --> Extension Manager...)
3) Click on "Check for Updates..." button

Result : Crash with the following message in the konsole

QPixmap: It is not safe to use pixmaps outside the GUI thread
QPixmap: It is not safe to use pixmaps outside the GUI thread

I confirm this on my Kubuntu Karmic AMD64 install. This is possibly related to bug 463901.

Just for clarity: this problem also disappears when removing openoffice.org-kde.

Got the same problem! Just try to run: Tools->Options->Extensions Manager and "check for updates". Openoffice crashes then. The problem disappears when removing openoffice.org-kde. Is there a new version of openoffice.org-kde available? The problem exists on 32 and 64 bit.
This bug is also affecting some extensions of openoffice

Merging with bug 508441 since it has a better backtrace.
