I want to add something to Chapter 1 of the Writer Guide about using the 
Quickstarter under Linux (the chapter already has a section about 
Quickstarter under Windows, from the time when Windows was the only OS 
that supported the Quickstarter). I have not attempted yet to get this 
to work on my Ubuntu (Gnome) system, and indeed I have no idea (without 
doing some research) whether there are any differences between Linuxes 
or KDE vs Gnome.

I would be grateful if someone else would do the research on this topic 
and write up a draft, at least with the essential information in it, so 
I don't have to. Or point me to where it is written up. I know I have 
seen notes about this; I just don't recall where and really don't have 
time to research it right now. Thank you for any assistance you can give!


Jean,

this thread has grown like Topsy, so I don't know if you noticed that 
the Quickstarter is not supported in official Sun builds of OO.o 2.1. 
It's disabled for quality reasons - see Issue 70644 - so you might like 
to take a rest from your labours:-)
