Are you referring to installation on Linux? If so, the icons are provided in the desktop integration rpm. I ran one recently just to get the icons. Unfortunately, it also duplicated the application directory! If you are installing icons regularly, can you write / obtain a script to install them? Surely, it would not be beyond the capacity of OpenOffice to provide such a script. Then again, many things do seem to be beyond the organisation's capacity. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Desktop-Icons-tf3043763.html#a8461617 Sent from the openoffice - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
