OpenOffice on Ubuntu

[David Suna]

I am having a problem with OpenOffice installed on Ubuntu 8.04.  
Everything runs fine but I cannot get the language directionality 
buttons to show on the tool bar.  And without them on the tool bar there 
doesn't seem to be any way to assign directionality.  This is a problem 
both in OO 2.4 and OO 3.0. The buttons are listed in the Visible Buttons 
drop down but trying to select them doesn't do anything.


I don't have this problem when running OO 3.0 on a Windows box.


Anyone know how to fix this problem?  This is the machine my kids use 
and they do most of their writing in Hebrew so this is very frustrating.


Thanks,
