Yup, that's right. No title bar, maximise/minimise/close/etc icons, no 
frame for resizing (though it turns out I can alt-drag to resize). But 
only for openoffice - everything else is fine.

Well, that strikes me as strange, because, as I understand it, xfdesktop 
manages the desktop background, and the pop-up menu from the desktop. 
Nothing to do with window decorations, which is xfwm's territory.

Sadly not :(. As I said, it does work fine for everything other than 
openoffice, so xfwm4 clearly is running - just not working properly.

Btw, Jean-François - thanks for the pointer ... would be nice not to 
have to wait until mid-August to get this fixed though ... :/

Thanks anyway,

Richard
