Greetings again, John.

I'd be interested to hear more about your LibreOffice problems.

I'm still using LO, but occasionally have a situation which
causes lxpanel to stall. I've been calling this an LXDE problem.

I get around my problem with Ctl-Alt-Backspace and have not lost
any LO work that I am aware-of.

I've never gotten any sympathy from either LXDE or LO to address
my problem, which I identified and reported six months ago.
