Hi Rob,
I had the crash problem too, but unfortunately I do not have the user
profile any longer. But I can list some things, which I usually do with
each version:
- Add name to user data, turn off "Help Agent", increase Graphics cache
to maximum, number of objects to 100, set number of undo steps to 20.
- In Pathes: Add AutoCorrect, AutoText, Gallery, and Templates from a
folder outside my home directory, do not make it the default. Set
Graphics to the default Windows folder for personal pictures.
- Set Macro Security to Medium.
- Set JRE to Java 1.6.0.37.
- Have Online Update to check automatically every week.
- Clear checkbox "Size optimation for ODF settings".
- Set HTML to Export OOoWriter and Character set UTF-8.
- Change Languages to not use the "default" item, enable both items in
enhanced language support.
- Set personal document templates from the added path (see above) as
default template.
- Define own toolbar in Draw and in Impress with commands for macros.
- Import about 10 macro libraries.
- In Draw and Impress: Dock toolbar 'Options' to the left and customize
it. Customize the drawing toolbar to show the toolboxes instead of
single shapes. Drag the zoom sub-toolbar from the standard bar and dock
it. Stack Page pane and Style&Formatting window.
- Customize standard toolbar: remove, disable and add commands.
In Writer dock table and numbering toolbar to the right,
Style&Formatting window to the left, show drawing toolbar, customize
standard toolbar, define own toolbar for macros.
- Install a German or an English language pack, depending on which is
the basis installation. Make sure the dictionary is installed and
install it, if it is missing. Keep the default installed extensions.
Including the recent document list, this results always in a
registrymodifications.xcu with size around 800KB.
All that was done on WinXP. [I'm now on Win7.]
I think, this might give you an imagination of "highly customized".
Kind regards
Regina

Sadly, no.
XP seems the version where it occurs the most.
Was the profile migration problem also reported on Mac, Linux or
FreeBSD? If it was mostly an XP problem then the observation by Stephan
Bergmann mentioned in
http://ooo-forums.apache.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?t=55017&p=242599#p242632
could be real the root cause of all our profile migration related
instabilities.
as an FYI...I use linux 32 bit rpm, and have never had a user profile issue,
that I know of :]
I've never seen the issue either, on Windows XP, 7 or 8.
But I do have a clean XP virtual machine image that I can run some
tests on. If anyone has a suggestion on how one can force the problem
to occur, let me know.
I assume it is some form of:
1) Install OOo 3.3.0
2) Do a bunch of stuff that triggers profile changes
3) Upgrade to AOO 3.4.1
4) Kaboom!
But what are some things I should do for step #2?
-Rob
The (very incomplete) stacks of the crash that I saw all mentioned the
update service being involved. This also fits with the observation that
the crash apparently happened after a predictable time, e.g. 30 secs,
which would also point to a problem in the update service.
Next time I'll try to make a copy of the whole profile.
We're looking forward to it, thanks!
Herbert
