Howto launch openoffice.org in Window Maker

I like Window Maker as a desktop manager. But sometimes, software developers don't like it as I do. That's the case for openoffice.org. It doen't know what graphic toolkit to use. You have to help it a bit.

If you always want to launch OOO from a terminal then type


$ export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome
$ oocalc

and it could be a good idea to add the 1st line in your .bashrc.

If you want to set it in WM menu, write as command:


OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome oocalc


And it works !
