Oh, if we only talked about things that not have been touched already,
this list would become very quiet. :-)

I didn't say we have to solve the problem, but OOo must support this
centralized management of templates or clip-arts. Currently the OOo
template component and the OOo gallery only look into OOo directories. I
would expect that once such a system directory has been defined it could
be referred in the OOo configuration (like we automatically set the
working directory to the users home directory).

Of course we wouldn't be able to write code for it until this has been
solved by whomever, and we want to have an access to these directories
that works the same way on all Linux distros. So we need to wait until
this has been prepared.

I hope this helps understanding my last mail better.

Best regards,
Mathias
