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 > > There were no error messages.

In fact the SETUP_GUIDE.pdf has installing the desktop as a separate operation. -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
