Comment 7 for bug 490410

I followed all the instructions and installed all the debug stuff for the backtrace, but I can't get gdb to launch the application:

$ gdb /usr/bin/oocalc 2>&1 | tee ~/gdb-oocalc.txt

"/usr/bin/oocalc": not in executable format: File format not recognised

(However, just executing /usr/bin/oocalc directly (not in gdb) launches ok).

Regarding the other bug, I don't think it's the same... I've tried obscuring/revealing OpenOffice application windows and they seem to redraw themselves fine under those circumstances. I only get the redraw problem when I specifically resize the application from the top/left edges.
I've not been able to reproduce the problem in any other applications besides OpenOffice (including Firefox, GIMP, Inkscape, Rosegarden, Audacity, Ardour, NetBeans, Synaptic Package Manager).
