Title:
  [ooo-build] cannot start OpenOffice.org with xvfb-run

Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite:
  Confirmed
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  The startup script soffice always detaches from console - this means
  that you cannot use openoffice.org on ubuntu in server (daemon) mode
  (i.e. headless parameter) without X. I have been doing this with 6.06
  by using xvfb-run. This does no longer work with 8.04 as the soffice
  script detaches from the console and thus xvfb-run (an with it the
  virtual X server) is terminated on startup.

  To get that working i have to hack the soffice script inside
  /usr/lib/openoffice/program to not run soffice.bin in background and
  to not use the external oosplash.bin.

  I suggest to make the loader script aware of the parameters -headless
  and -invisible and if any of these are present, not using oosplash.bin
  and not use & to run in background.
