Actual bug was that redhat-menus was not in the BuildRequires section of the
specfile, so the build farm here at Red Hat didn't install it, and therefore
there were no .desktop files to package up in the RPM.  Will be fixed in 1.1.0-3.

To get the menu items in Gnome one has to either run /usr/lib/openoffice/setup
or launch oowriter from a console. However, though this adds the entries to the
Gnome desktop menu, *but* they do not get added to the KDE menus.

I propose openoffice install global applnk/mimelnk/icons, and disable local
installations of these files.

Rex Dieter, your patch has largely been incorporated into 1.1.0-4. 
Thanks for the scripts.  This bug should be fixed in 1.1.0-4, though
people will need to "rm -f
~/.gnome2/vfolders/applications/ooo645*.desktop" to remove the
duplicate entries.
