Bug 167155

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.98)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

I am running opensuse 11.0 on an x86-64 amd chip, and I've upgraded KDE to RC1
via the kde opensuse repo.  In yast, the kde package versions are all
4.0.99-15.2.

I encountered some problems w/ openoffice 2.4.1 (taskbar flickering, extra
carriage return when copying from OOo to other apps), so I installed the beta
version of OOo 3, again from the opensuse repo.  Yast versions: 2.99.25-12.1.

This introduced some severe problems.  One is that accessing certain menu items
freezes the entire KDE session!  Nothing I do in the GUI then works.  I then
have to start a text console (ctrl-alt-f1), login as root, and issue reboot. 
The menu items this happens with are: open, save as, export.  I got the problem
with at least one of these in writer, calc, and impress.  Needless to say,
given how long it takes to perform one test and reboot, I'm not in the mood to
explore this systematically.

It's interesting that these menu items want to access a list of files.  Other dialog boxes (print, things not on the file menu) work fine.

I will report this to openoffice, since it very well could be a bug w/ them and not you.
