Yes, the libqstart_gtklx.so provides the Quickstarter functionality.

It is actually faster when start OOo the second time. I try to start OOo with these gtk codes but some functions such as gtk_menu_new( ), gtk_tooltips_new( ),gtk_tooltips_set_tip( ) raise assertions like, <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><link rel="File-List" href="file:///E:%5CUSERPR%7E1%5CGUOXUE%7E1%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cc%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"><style>  </style> (process:11041): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance (process:11041): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_connect_data: assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed It is strange that these gtk functions need libvclplug_gtklx.so. Maybe a KDE version of Quickstarter alse need a libvclplug_kdelx.so... I tried oooqs2 but it didn't work... <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"></blockquote> <div class="gmail_quote">2010/3/17 Petr Mladek <<a href="mailto:pmladek@suse.cz">pmladek@suse.cz</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="im">On Wednesday 17 March 2010, Tor Lillqvist wrote: > > I have got a problem with quickstart tool.

It uses GNOME code. It would be nice create a KDE variant and we are still looking for a volunteer. Would you like to help with this? Well, there exists a standalone applet for KDE but I am not sure how it works. You might find it at <a href="http://segfaultskde.berlios.de/index.php?content=oooqs2" target="_blank">http://segfaultskde.berlios.de/index.php?content=oooqs2</a>. I have played with the older version for OOo-1.1.x many years ago and it had many troubles. I think that a QT port of the libqstart_*.so would be a better solution if anyone implements it. Otherwise tor is correct, the main purpose of the module/applet is too keep OOo running on background. The side effect is that it creates an icon and menu in the systray. -- Best Regards, Petr Mladek software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o.                        e-mail: <a href="mailto:pmladek@suse.cz">pmladek@suse.cz</a> Lihovarsk¨¢ 1060/12                          tel: +420 284 028 952 190 00 Prague 9                             fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic                              <a href="http://www.suse.cz/" target="_blank">http://www.suse.cz/</a> </blockquote></div>
