I think there may be some kind of bug in a lib somewhere at the moment.
My wife is seeing Firefox dying after some random time on her machine.
I ran it under gdb and when it died it was due to an X error
The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
(Details: serial 8810105 error_code 1 request_code 0 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error()
function.)
Googling on that turned up a thread blaming problems with GTK for
similar behaviour... which might explain why Firefox and OO could both
go shaky. Or it could be something else entirely.
I updated her gtk with the one from development but the problem persists.

Hum, interesting about the Firefox issue as my Firefox and Thunderbird
have been doing the same thing recently. Is there a bug reported on this?
As for the calc disappearing, try the official OOo from OpenOffice.org
as there are some cone changes done to Calc. The official version runs
much faster IMHO with the macros that I run.
