Description of problem: The menu items for starting OpenOffice.org components are in Red Hat->Office->More Office Applications, instead of Red Hat->Office. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-1.1.0-1
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. Dan
