Icons that never show in Ubuntu 6.06

[el_mati]

Hi all.
It's the first time I post in here. I use oppen office from about two years over windows. It's a great suite. No M$ office anymore...
The issue that brings me here happens after I installed ubuntu dapper with both KDE and GNOME as desktop. It came with OOo as the default office suite.The thing is that in GNOME the icons and toolbars dissapear when I mouse over it. Have you ever heard about this behaviour?.
It's just odd, that issue doen't happen on KDE.
What could be wrong?.
It's a shame becouse no other office suite is as complete as OOo.

Well, I'll wait for your feedback.

Thanks for your answer.

Do you have a mouseover effect enabled in GNOME? Many desktop environments allow for a transformation effect upon icons during a mouseover event. Often this is a shift in lightness. Could you try disabling any effects like this and seeing if the problem persists? If not, it could be some kind of OOo/GTK issue.

not that I know, I have use it with the most poor gnome theme, with the less eye candy as possible and the same behaviour occurs. I belive that it's in fact a OOo/gtk issue since in KDE it looks great. I've tryed reinstalling it and it happens again, no difference. I contact with the ubuntu's but I have no answer.
May be just a thing from the ubuntu's version.

Well thanks for the feedback.
has anyone had the same problem?

thanks again.
