Thank you for that, great work so far!

Unfortunately cannot check myself ATM, but have you tried to debug that
a bit?

First you need to rebuild the relevant part with debug info, like:

make sfx2.clean
make debug=true sfx2

If you have a developer installation (you have done 'make dev-install'),
then you just run LO in the debugger:

cd installation/program
. ooenv
gdb --tui ./soffice.bin

[Some do not like the --tui (text user interface), but it works for me
pretty well when you get used to pressing Ctrl-L when the screen gets
messed up :-)]

Set the breakpoint where you'd expect the code to appear using 'break',
and then start LO using 'run'.

If it is hit, you can investigate what is going on; if not, some further
investigation is needed I am afraid - let us know then.

All the best,
Kendy
