2) I can confirm with Staroffice/Openoffice on FC6 and removing .openoffice* or .staroffice* did not change the behavior. I was playing around with the languages and I selected "kannada" in the language section menu when I logged into gnome or kde ... not sure which one. Thunderbird, evolution, firefox were fine, but staroffice and openoffice were almost unusable as the text in the menus were just some strange symbols. Other issues with FC like broken updates etc. forced me to move to ubuntu. Have not tried to fiddle with languages again. ..... not sure IF I want reproduce the behavior ;-) -G > > > > So the questions are: > > > > 1) If I want all vestiges of it to be gone, what do I have to delete > > besides the ~/.openoffice.org2 folder? > > System|Administration|Synaptic Package Manager|Search|openoffice > > Right click on openoffice.org(x) (openoffice.org-core as an example), > select Properties, then the Installed Files tab.
