Hi,

Generally speaking, kword works great here and on other computer too, so it's 
not a generic problem.

Your optimization settings may be to blame, as koffice currently has problems 
with some settngs (the ebuild tries to compensate). What are your CXXFLAGS?

I don't see anything like that here. Many menus are indeed disabled, but they 
shuold be - frame and table-related menus when there is no table or frame in 
existence, etc. What menu commands are disabled for you that should be 
enabled?

I've tried it and there are indeed a lot of msgs. I'm not sure that's debug 
level output though, debug may produce even more :-) We don't pass explicit 
--disable-debug to kde configures but that's supposed to be the deafult, so I 
don't see what can be done about this.
