Just to follow up -- it seems the file
   /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/cxlegacy.menu
is the culprit. It is apparently missing a <Menu> node wrapped around 
the <LegacyDir> tags. The following patch fixes the problem for me:

diff -cNr menus.old/applications-merged/cxlegacy.menu 
menus/applications-merged/cxlegacy.menu
*** menus.old/applications-merged/cxlegacy.menu Tue May 30 14:19:47 2006

   <Menu>

!         <Menu>

<LegacyDir>/opt/cxoffice/support/xdg-legacy-menus</LegacyDir>
!         </Menu>
! </Menu>

So this is really a Crossover Office bug, more than likely.

BTW, I also found that kbuildsycoca crashes on FC5 if scim-qtimm is 
installed (at least on x86_64).

HTH,

Joe
