I have been using the python-uno interface to launch OpenOffice and run PowerPoint slideshows on a Linux-based noticeboard system. Now the customer wants to make a split-screen and show four different slide shows on the screen at the same time.
But whenever I start a slide show in a second instance of OpenOffice, the first slide show will freeze.
Has anyone out there encountered this problem before ? Anyone solved it ?
I am running OpenOffice 2.4 on Debian Linux. I run two completely separate instances of OpenOffice in separate processes but they seem to affect each other anyway.
