Anyone notice that the latest 2.3rc1(M3) development build using the deb
files (http://download.openoffice.org/680/?intcmp=1233) can no longer
run side-by-side with 2.2.1?

The previous builds left 2.2.1 alone so that you could run them
side-by-side to do comparisons. However this development build
*replaces* 2.2.1. so you can only run one or the other, but not both.

For example, when installing 2.3rc1:

> (Reading database ... 181966 files and directories currently installed.)
> Preparing to replace openoffice.org-base 2.2.1-9161 (using 
> openoffice.org-base_2.3.0-3_i386.deb) ...
> Unpacking replacement openoffice.org-base ...

And when reinstalling 2.2.1:

> dpkg - warning: downgrading openoffice.org-base from 2.3.0-3 to 2.2.1-9161.
> (Reading database ... 182218 files and directories currently installed.)
> Preparing to replace openoffice.org-base 2.3.0-3 (using 
> openoffice.org-base_2.2.1-9161_i386.deb) ...
> Unpacking replacement openoffice.org-base ...

Also 2.3 no longer creates a separate .openoffice.org2dev directory, but
instead uses the old openoffice.org2 directory.

I suppose that all of this is documented somewhere in the release notes:
http://development.openoffice.org/releases/2.3.0rc1.html
Unfortunately, the maintainers of that web page still seem to think that
everyone has a wide screen hdtv to view what it written there, and have
ignored the bug report to fix it that was filed in June:
