The current script (CVS HEAD) is at http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/ooo-build/bin/ooo-wrapper.in?rev=1.46&view=markup While the issues which can be fixed upstream can be fixed upstream there's some other stuff there like setting variables and warning the users when /proc is not there (while the last one probably could be added to soffice, too, but I think about extending it to use optionaly use gtk-/kdialog/... when it's there). Yes, users *do/did* run into such problems. And when there's some upgrade and when we maybe change some default setting and want to change the users' config too because they otherwise wonÄt get their issue fixed / won't benefit you have to do that somewhere *before* the start of OOo. Waiting for a fix upstream isn't always possible (you need to get working bugfixed packages out and into the distris' dveelopment trees for testing and into their releases when its time) and neither is it a real good approach to just ignore it or tell the users to rm -rf .openoffice.org2 if it's possible to fix in an other way. Quality is what is tried to achieve here, even on upgrades or for stuff which the distro can/should solve for the users, be it bugfixing, working around of bugs etc). At the moment we actually have a case where that is needed. And I also think about how we best get old user settings into 2.x. No, the registration dialog is *not* suitable for this since a) registration and more importantly b) accepting a license is uncommon in the OSS/FS world and thefore not recommended and therfore disabled in most distros.
