Removing it (and my user data) gave me the quickstarter, again, created a new link (to my current version), and now the QS comes up whenever I start OOo. A quick question. Why is the quickstarter enabler kept in a config directory outside of the user's OOo stuff. I ask because when using m187 I turned off the quickstarter and disabled the start up option and your hint in another message poked my nose to locating this other directory. Here are some specifics: 1. FC5 and Gnome 2.

Re: [dev] Quickstarter quirks
Hi Gerry, A quick question. Why is the quickstarter enabler kept in a config directory outside of the user's OOo stuff. I suppose that's because this is really about desktop integration: The desktop probably checks this location for things to, well, quickstart. Just a guess.

However, this new feature needs to be documented so I am looking for confirmation that your guess is so. Can someone confirm or direct me to some spec that will explain whether this is *NIX specific, WM specific (e.g. Gnome vs. KDE vs. ...) or mimics Windows integration? TIA -- G.

You know that this thread started because there *is* no spec for this Unix port of the existing feature, don't you? The existing Windows version of the quickstarter is covered by http://specs.openoffice.org/appwide/menus/desktop_menu_integration.sxw, reachable from http://specs.openoffice.org/.

A spec would be useful for my purposes but I think that a simple explanation would suffice for the doc project. At least that way we could offer users some idea how to cope with the new feature. The existing Windows version of the quickstarter is covered by http://specs.openoffice.org/appwide/menus/desktop_menu_integration.sxw, reachable from http://specs.openoffice.org/. So you are saying the *NIX version behaves in exactly the same way? -- G. Roderick Singleton [EMAIL PROTECTED] OpenOffice.org smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature
