Hello, That reminds me of my experiment with the openoffice.org-redhat-menus RPM the other day. For clarity, I will sumarize in the form of a numerical list: 1. "Before" I installed 1.9.127, I installed "openoffice.org-redhat-menus-1.9.127-1.noarch.rpm" The result? I had about six items stuck in the Office subdirectory of my KDE start menu. The only problem was that none of them had any icons. I opened up the KDE start menu in the KDE menu editor, there were no icons there either. If icons don't pop up right away, usually they are visible in kmenuedit, and all I have to do is click the save icon, and then when I check the menu, they appear. This time they never appeared. I even logged out and logged back in, and the icons never appeared. Just the original openoffice.org menu choices, with no icons. 2. I edited the *.desktop files, just like I do for my Manual Integration technique, and I got the icons back right away. 3. I then installed 1.9.127. The result? All of the openoffice.org menu items dissappeared from the Office subdirectory I referred to earlier. Icons dissappeared as well. 4. Did a fresh download of 1.9.127. Uninstalled "openoffice.org-redhat-menus-1.9.127-1.noarch.rpm" as well as all of the 1.9.127 RPM's that I had installed. Now is not the time to go into detail about why I know I got all of them uninstalled, but I did. I will say it was a mixture of rpm -qa, grep, kedit and rpm -3 I then reinstalled the 1.9.127 RPMS, and I installed the "openoffice.org-redhat-menus-1.9.127-1.noarch.rpm" at the same time. This is not a huge deal to me, since I have another way to get OpenOffice integrated into my start menu. The only thing that I can think might have anything to do with any of this is that although I install OpenOffice by the RPM's that Pavel Janik creates, my KDE is not located in a default path. I export to "/usr/local/kde-svn" in my ~/.bash_profile. With that being the case, I would think the the openoffice.org-redhat-menus RPM wouldn't work at all, as opposed to how it worked for me: for a short time, and then dissappeared. Oh yeah, when the menu items originally dissappeared, I did rpm -qa on openoffice.org-redhat-menus and it was still installed. If you think this is a real issue, let me know, and I will file an issue on it. But please let me know what component and subcomponent to file it under. I always get confused by that :) Steven P.
