It is fine to have multiple office installations, the point is that I don't want to share the base layer anymore and keep it separately. No URE, no base layer, everything consolidated. Our friends from LO have reworked this already, but they kept the URE. I am tending to go one step further and remove the URE layer in the office as well. I think it was one of the first action Stephan did for LO ;-) He had the advantage that he knew exactly what to do because he had to integrate it on advice of his former manager. Juergen

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.

Bug in AOO 3.4.1 on the Fedora 18
I am using Fedora 18 and AOO 3.4.1 Realizing that the AOO is crashing to do several things: word of correction, close the page, open the AOO own. That's just me or a bug to be fixed? Albino
