Sorry I can't help with the FreeBSD problem. I have a laptop with kubuntu Dapper 6.06 on it. I hadn't actually used OOo on it, but just tried it and had no problems. I don't know if the gnome/KDE difference could be significant there. I was able to create and save a template and then reopen and start a new document from the template. I looked at the Paths, (OOo 2.02 - default kubuntu installation) and Templates were shown as expected. Have you tried doing an updatedb and slocate Rough1.ott ? I presume FreeBSD has that or a similar utility? (.ott is the OOo template format). That's about all I can offer Apologies to the moderator. I normally read/post through gmane, but CC'd a post Gary had sent me to keep it on the list.
