But maybe others think differently. With the first installation I ever did of OOo (tarballs not rpm by the way), I added the components to my personal menu using kmenuedit (found the icons and used them). What I was suggesting was something simpler and might work. Adding wherever we decide to install to $KDEDIRS. As long as we stick with the directory structure that kde expects -- http://techbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration/KDE_Filesystem_Hierarchy we may be OK. Right now, openSUSE (menus) seem to honor changes I make with kmenuedit -- this is 12.1. I think there WAS a time this was not the case which made things rather maddening to say the least. > So, unless someone with deep knowledge of QT4/KDE4 joins here, it's > very likely that AOO will remain a Gnome2 application on Linux (yes, > we also need someone with Gtk3/Gnome3 knowledge). > Well I have no deep knowledge, but I will experiment and report the results. > > > Regards > -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MzK "I'm just a normal jerk who happens to make music.
