I'm still working on this, Jean. The Quickstarter (OOo 2.0.4)
functions correctly on my Intel systems, but doesn't on an AMD Athlon
64 running an Intel 486 kernel. All these systems are running under
Debian Etch (testing) with Gnome presently.

Having said the above, I upgraded to OO.o 2.1 on an Intel machine this
afternoon and Quickstarter selection is "greyed out"!!! I also lost
Gnome menu integration, so there may be a linkage here. Perhaps using
'alien' to convert from the released rpms triggers a problem? How did
you obtain the packages for installation under ubuntu, Jean?
As I mentioned in my original note, I downloaded the file from
the main OOo website. I didn't use 'alien' to convert it... or if
I did, I wasn't aware of doing that. I used the following set of
instructions that Daniel Carrera gave me some time ago, which may
use alien without my knowing it.
1. Extract the OOo download from the file browser GUI.
[Jean's note: I use archive manager to do this.]
2. Open a terminal and 'cd' to the directory with all the RPM files.
3. Run this:
for i in *.rpm; do rpm2cpio $i|cpio -idm &> /dev/null; done
