Tabs, row/column headers way too narrow

[lukaszd]

Hello there,

I have a problem that's become a bit frustrating: I use OOo 2.3.1 on my Linux (Arch) machine and recently (though I can't say for sure it started after the last upgrade) I got this narrow-tabs issue. The thing is that the tabs in preferences windows as well as those in the bottom of Calc's window that keep sheet names inside are only a couple of pixels wide. All the tab names are displayed on top of each other which looks a bit messy. This also affects row and column headers – see the pictures.

The most frustrating thing is that all's OK when I run Calc from my wife's account Must be something in the prefs then - I've tried removing the .openoffice.org2 directory to reset my prefs and even got rid of .gnome* at some point – no luck.

I'd appreciate any help!
L.
