OpenOffice into your Linux desktop.<br />
The name of the installation directory will likely be the language
abbreviation for the install set, e.g., en-US.</li>
<li>Add the install directory as a "local repository" for your GUI package
manager if possible. This
will enable you to do a GUI install rather than command line.</li>
- <li>Historically, OpenOffice has provided desktop integration packages for
madriva, redhat, suse, and now
- freedesktop. Many new desktop (window managers) like KDE4, Gnome3, and Unity
now adhere to the freedsktop.org
- standard for icon placement and mime-type definitions. You may want to
install the freedesktop desktop
- integration package if you experience issues with your former desktop
integration.</li>
+ <li><b>Desktop integration notes:</b> If you are using a newer desktop
window manager (KDE 4, Gnome 2 or 3, Unity), you should probably install the
freedesktop-menus regardless of your distribution from the desktop-integration
directory included with Apache OpenOffice. The <a
href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/";>freedesktop.org</a> specification is
now used by several desktops (windows managers).
+<br> If this is not your situation, please see the "desktop-integration"
directory for other choices.</li>
