Re: [libreoffice-users] Compose key is being ignored

Hi :)
The best place to find out where your "User Profile" really is, is to open LibreOffice and then try
Tools - Options - Paths
but to help you find what sort of thing you are looking for this wiki helps
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile
(hopefully helps anyway) as it gives the default location in the various operating systems
Windows pre-Vista
Windows Vista and beyond
Gnu&Linux (except, of course, 1 of them has to be different from the rest)
BSD (i think.  BSDers tend to be left to their own devices and tend to get help from other BSDers 
in a separate forum and stuff)

Of course the location had to change for 3.5.x as the standard changed for most operating systems 
in the interests of clarity (or something).  So, the wiki-guide tries to make a fairly confusing 
set-up a lot less confusing but probably misses.  Suggestions for the wiki-page are welcome (ish).

Regards from
Tom :)

Good suggestion. Tried it, but I am sorry to say it change things. Just
to be sure I also tried with a complete new user on the system. Same result.

I am running KDE (thus Qt) with the GTK+ Appearance package on top of it.

I use SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen to get the same effect.

Just to be sure I did try it anyway. Alas, no show.

Thanks for the suggestions!
