Description jvromans 2006-12-27 22:31:20 UTC 
According to the 2.1 release notes, a GTK version of the quickstarter is now
available for GNU/Linux platforms.

After install of the RPMS unpacked from
OOo_2.1.0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US.tar.gz on Fedora Core 5 there is no
quickstarter to be found, and the appropriate checkbox (Tools -> Options ->
Memory) seems to be disabled.

What program implements the GTK quickstarter, and how can I enable it?

Yes, I see the quickstarter missing in three places/ways.
1. quickstarter option disabled in Tools->Options
2. "openoffice.org-2.1 -help" says -quickstart "only available on windows platform"
3. "openoffice.org-2.1 -quickstart" does not start the quickstart service

I vaguely remember seeing the quickstarter working on my system in a 2.1 release
candidate, so I wonder what happened. :)

I havn't tried an 'official' 2.1 build - but yes, due to missing paperwork (and
some bugs) the quick-starter -should- have been disabled in the build, and
should never have made the release notes [ I think ]. That is assuming it did
indeed get turned off.

If you want to fiddle endlessly with the specification, help docs, i18n, etc. to
get it enabled in 2.2 then please do so, I for one have little interest in that
pain. Of course, if you use ~any Linux distro vendor's build it will be enabled.
