Sorry for nitpicking. But should this be automated as part of the
install? maybe show a little dialog saying we´ve detected that your
system is configured to use a piece of software that is incompatible
with AOO. Want the installer to automatically disable it so that AOO
can install? [Yes/No]

The curse of the Linux world is the tutorials that tell users how to
do things by editing certain files, and installers that, having known
for years that such manual procedures are required, do not make the
slightest effort to automate the process.

The problem is not LibO, but the modified LibO version delivered by Fedora.
AOO and the official build of LibO can live together without problems.

But first of all, removing other's software is not a nice action...

That's depends on the distro: openSUSE and Mandriva makes those thing quite
easy. I cannot remember the last time I manually edited a config file.

I think this is one further reason to eliminate the dump 3 layer
directory structure which is totally obsolete and make things only
complicate.

Currently we have the URE, basis and brand layer which is the result
of some cleaver thinking of some product managers to have multiple
offices installed on the same machine. Multiple offices that are based
on OpenOffice and are only different in the brand layer. I think a
scenario which is very seldom and if somebody need it, it should be
fine to duplicate the file.

The best time would be now for 4.0 but I see a timing problem. I will
start a new thread where we can start a discussion on this topic and
maybe some interested people want to join such a cleanup effort.

New thread is on the way ... please continue in the new thread.

 That's just me or a bug to be fixed?

I don't have a fedora18 to test right now, but installing OpenOffice in
fedora requires to blacklist LO. If you didn't so, then it might happen
that your installation is broken.

Try running AOO from the command line, and see the output when it
crashes, it might give a clue.

I reboot in the pc, it seems to me better.

I don't use Fedora, but we have a link to How to Install on Fedora 16/17 
that might be of use on the Linux install doc on the wiki:
