Yes, I applied my own patch ;)

First, why did nobody try to contact me directly? I mean I'm mainly a debian user (Depper is on my laptop, though) and don't regularily check ubuntu bug reports.

I didn't upload any .diff.gz/.dsc because the packages were maily for my own testing purpose (I build the packages in the institute (build time is incredible, even on dual opteron system) and downloading them myself at home).

Creating my own patch is a bit difficult with Openoffice.org source packages - everything is first in .bz2.uu files and I havn't figured out yet how to extract it without starting the build process. I asked René for help, but he seems too busy to answer those questions. So I didn't have the time and ambition to do it with the very recent Sid packages.

Cheers,
Bernd
