Comment 33 for bug 113679

As long as we are still waiting for a fix for Dapper ... the following workaround lindered the problem for me: I'm running a second X-Server on :1 with a minimal WM (fluxbox) just for running OpenOffice within. Originally I thought this way I can at least kill a hanging xorg process without loosing other applications' data and my session each time (and usually when I have a customer on the phone that laughs at me when I'm telling him that I need to call him back later because my Linux box just crashed :-)). Surprisingly enough, OpenOffice never made my :1 server crash yet, and xorg is up since Nov 1, now. It's just a little bit tedious switching between servers every now and then and I miss copy&paste. Well, I actually have no idea why this works ...
