Hi David, The story ends... 'upgraded' my debian installation to 'testing' instead of 'stable' yesterday. recompiled Kspread, no improvements. Saw release of Koffice 1.2.1 DL'ed it and compiled today. Result: everything ok. :-/ Have no idea what might have done it for me. stable to testing involves the upgrading of approx. 280 packages (after which 1.2 didn't compile any better). Maybe it was 1.2.1, maybe the combination of testing and 1.2.1. Anyway I'm a happy persone and my apologies for the frustrating ending (in the sense that we will never find out what was wrong)...
