This will not work. Desktop stuff goes in the system default. Please rpm
-e openoffice.org-redhat-menus-2.0.0-3.noarch.rpm then re-install
using rpm -ihv openoffice.org-redhat-menus-2.0.0-3.noarch.rpm

Of course not. you moved them to /usr/local/ but that is not the normal
location of desktop stuff. In fact the SETUP_GUIDE.pdf has installing
the desktop as a separate operation.
