>From downstream bug lp#1300283:
It seems that the latest RC of LO is completely broken on KDE 4.

Launching the LO center causes nothing to come up ( I can see a window
title, but nothing inside the window itself ), launching writer causes a
window to come up, which immediately hangs.

Multiple users have brought this up on the Kubuntu Devel mailing list
too.

reports that copying the KDE plugin from 4.2.1 in solves this.


There are commits in vcl/unx/kde4 about fdo#73115, fdo#45935 and fdo#74416 -- one of them is likely causing this regression.

copying the file from 4.2.1(!) (as your commment) fixes the bug in
4.1.2(!) (as Version) says?!

... or it is fixed in 4.2.x and needs to be backported to 4.1.x (but
4.1.x without jmux' branch is broken per se)

nope, fumbled when setting the version -- this is a recent regression on
the 4.2 branch.
