  hi folks
 i am having lots of trouble importing documents with graphics in them.
 even a doc with 1 or 2 small graphics is running past the timeout period
  (even though i've set timeout to 300,000 msec - 5min).
 system is:
 - xwiki 2.0.3 standalone
 - openoffice 3.1
 - centos 5.4 linux on vmware
 - java heap set to 300MB (JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx300m)
 is this a known problem and/or can anyone suggest a fix?
 is office importer even supposed to be able to handle graphics?
 
 Yup, office importer can handle graphics without issues. I think this has
 something to do with your particular operating environment, is this a
 desktop system or a server? I suspect this is something with your X server
 configuration but I'm not sure. I will check 2.0.3 myself to see if there
 have been a regression. 
thanks for the response
the xwiki is running on linux (centos 5.4) which is running in a VM
guest with VMware server running on windows xp.
i'm accessing the xwiki via a web browser on the windows system
the linux system is at runlevel 3 - multiuser server, no gui login.
Xwindows, etc, is installed however.
the 
openoffice.org instance is running internally
any thoughts on what can be done would be appreciated.
