    Actually C does work. I'm at the system now and will enable sshd
    to stop me making mistakes like this due to me not having a debian root
    A/C handy.

    The problem is that bug doesn't appear to be fully deterministic so I'm
    not sure what the correct solution is exactly. Now using
    `env -u LC_ALL oowriter` works fine. I originally tested with
    `LC_ALL='C' oowriter` IIRC when I got it working. (I use bash)

    Further investigation reveals that 'locales' doesn't even need to be
    installed. IIRC I was running 1.0.something when this was happening. I'm
    running 1.1.0-3 now.

    Looking at the DEBIAN.Readme LC_ALL or LANG needs to be set to
    something valid if openoffice.org-l10n-(en|de) isn't installed.

    I must sumise that I installed openoffice.org-l10n-en at some point and
    fixed the problem that was previously handled by LC_ALL. It appears that
    -en is a depend and seems to have been for over a year by dependancies
    shown in bug reports. Weird...

    Hopefully something helpful in there for you. You should try running
    oowriter in your prefered xterm - it gives some useful output.

    Whats the proper way to do this? My solution does seem to be a bit of
    a kludge - not that I've just removed it.
