I do not use rpm but for deb I install LibO in the same way as OOo and
OOo-dev with dpkg. On Ubuntu 2 commands are sufficient:
in the DEBS directory : sudo dpkg -i *.deb
then in the desktop-integration directory : sudo dpkg -i *.deb

As for OOo-dev I use a small script to launch LibO if I want to tweak
some environment variable.
The command line should be something like:
/opt/libreoffice3/program/soffice  "$@"

No such problem for me. You should try to tweak environment variables
like SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN, SAL_NO_NWF, SAL_DISABLE_NATIVE_ALPHA. See
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Environment_Variables for
detailed informations.

I use the same sort of file and it works for me but indeed not always
and I can't catch the thing that make it working or not.

You can create a script which launch lo and associate this script to
each kind of odf file. LibO (as OOo) will do itself the job to choose
the right LibO module.

LibO beta2 will be better. :-)
