I had a problem installing the latest version of OpenOffice (641c). I use Window Maker as my window manager and for some reason OpenOffice would not install. Don't ask me why but I tried to install it under Gnome and hey presto it worked. That was good but I am not a fan of Microsoft desktop look-a-likes so I recompiled Window Maker using a deb source package making sure Gnome support was compiled in. Hey presto OpenOffice started working under Window Maker. I can only assume Sun has started intergrating StarOffice into Gnome like they said they would when the Gnome Club, or whatever it is called, was formed. Anyways, hope this helps.
