Right - well, Hagar is referring not to the application icons, having multiple installs (including as it has been for a long time, both the distro version of OO.o and the vanilla version) - it's the file association icons. Installing the vanilla packages doesn't update the system settings for the file association. That's more a question IMO about how we would want the files in the PPA to install - as the current vanilla deb packages do, my first vote would be for this. Though I would be in favor of offering an option to change the file type (mime type) associations, ala Windows install. //drew
