HAHA! I thought that was good when I created the Tribe 4 page. Most people got 
a kick out of it :)

Anyways, yet OpenOffice.org is broken as well as the nspluginwrapper. These 
are both broken for the same reason and it has been traced back to either 
libgtk or libglib, not 100% positive. Rest assured, as I had asked not even 
30 minutes ago on IRC when we are going to get it fixed. People are still 
looking into and working on getting it fixed correctly. There was a hack 
going around the supposedly fixed it, but it hadn't. I heard someone rebuilt 
the packages with either the latest libgtk (I tried this and it didn't work 
for me) or libglib (I didn't try this one yet).

We apologize for this annoyance and hopefully will have it fixed soon.
