I can now confirm it is definitely something between LO and ROX :(

If I start a plain openbox session and use xterm to bring up LO it performs all

its goodies then then LO save problem shows up :(

I could really do with some help here guys.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
