This could be useful as this is the way I think, but many go searching for a wordprocessor and don't know what it is called. Since the menu was designed for Newb's, I am not sure how this will go over with the powers that be. > 2.

Apprently, StarSuite is updating the standard KDE and GNOME menus, which Mandrake does not use. Mandrake uses the Debian menuing system, so there is a seperate menu structure that the package being installed needs to know about. StarSuite obviously doesn't know about it. How about setting up a small little package that just contains the menu entries for StarSuite, so if it is installed, a user can install the starsuite-menu-entries package and get the menu entries. > 3.
