No, there are only the 2.4.1 icons, which not surprisingly starts the 2.4.1 applications. > If so, you can put the new icon (looks like a > bouncing spring) on your panel by right-clicking it and then choosing «Lägg > till den här programstartare på panelen». Well, the problem was that I couldn't it since I didn'ty know what to look for, exactly. I know how to add things to whatever places I like, that's not a problem for me since I have used Ubuntu for a bit more than a year now. But you couldn't possibly know that, so it's ok… > If not, run «locate soffice.bin» > in a terminal and see what you get - presumably something like > «/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin». No, I only got another location, which only lead me to the 2.4.1 once again. However, I finally found it, thanks to you. /opt/openoffice.org3.program/soffice.bin was exactly what I was looking for!

You are not Swedish, are you? But you were right, I am. J.R.
