Yes, this is a 64bit Athlon running 64bit Ubuntu ---> Kubuntu.

The libpango has to do with internationalization.  And, I think you're
right, I think this error can be ignored.

I take it that none of you are seeing a series of locale errors.  If I
may ask, what do you get from locale and locale -a?  I would like to
compare.

This is not the end of the world, it's just frustrating to not be able
to get OOo to use the nice widgets I know it wants to, and I REALLY
hate to do a fresh install over this, but I might.
