@Nina Marwede - Are you using gnome or kde? - I was assuming gnome... - which is what I am using.
If it's KDE I am bailing out of the trouble-shooting here. If it is gnome -
I have no longer lucid on any of my machines - but if it is gnome I create one in virtual box and try to re-create the problem. Over the WE.
To exclude the possibility of a config file in your home directory causing the problem - create a test user on your system
system/administration/users and groups
A test account is always handy to have to test things like that...
I suggest you log out as you and log on as the test user - rather then doing a parallel session.
Enable the quick starter for the test user. Create and save a test office doc. Close office app. Can you shut down then?
If the test user does not have the problem - we know it's a setting or file in your home dir.
