        I did that:

        http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14235

        Interesting.

        I linked the python pretty-printers we use into the bug; I think if you
just delete the debuginfo for libfwklo.so (actually - safer to delete
all-but-vcl perhaps :-) and put a breakpoint in the 'Window::Show'
method, a simple run of almost any version of LibreOffice should show
the issue.

        Thanks !

                Michael.
