launchpad-integration binary should return when run regardless of browser

Does this also crash you computer if you try to report a bug against other packages? E.g. totem? Thanks!

I have tested with synaptic and again with OpenOffice.org-Impress, with synaptic, no problems, with OpenOffice.org-Impress, the freeze succeeded again.

I think this is issue is because openoffice uses launchpad-integration binary and if you run launchpad-integration binary when Firefox is not already running it does not return like it does if Firefox is running.

launchpad-integration binary should always return regardless if the program it is running returns or not.

Note in my testing I was not able to make X itself hang, but OOo hung until the Firefox browser was closed since launchpad-integration itself did not return until after Firefox was closed. However in cases where Firefox is already running launchpad-integration immediately returns.

I am working around this in openoffice.org, but it should be fixed in launchpad-integration as well.

This bug was fixed in the package openoffice.org - 1:3.0.1-1ubuntu1
