I have updated the open office packages and now the icons and text on
the menu bar, as well as the icons and text in the drop-down menus,
have disappeared.
The title bar (?) shows 'file', 'edit', 'view', etc, but underneath,
the menu bar (?) disappears when I hover the mouse pointer over the
icons. The same thing happens in the drop-down menus. The program is
still usable, but it is very difficult to know which button one is
clicking.
I am using kde-redhat for FC4 on a clean install of FC4. I have
followed all the updates and installed them as they came along from the
date of issue, for both FC4 and kde-redhat for FC4.
I have the latest Sun Java installed, as per the Fedora release notes
instructions, into /opt using the extracting binary - not the rpm, and
have made the necessary indications in the alternatives system.
Addendum:
Just before sending this off, I decided to check out the KDE Control
Centre. Under 'GTK Styles and Fonts', I have set 'Use my KDE Style in
GTK application'. This has worked fine up to now, except that in
Firefox there are no large icons for the menu bar, only small ones,
but, as a result, I have set Firefox to use the small icons.
It seems that Open Office only displays properly when 'use another
style' is set to 'Clearlooks'. This is unfortunate, as Open Office nad
Firefox look great in their KDE skin.
