Is it intentional ?
caolanm->bjoern: There are multiple Exec lines in the .desktop files now after b7423ceee1a6b1c5595fbbef6f0ca4417feeddf6 Are the duplicates intentional/necessary (I'm not up to date on the .desktop format). And if they are, presumably they should follow the same replaceable naming scheme of UNIXBASISROOTNAME > Indeed, even after installation of LO (upstream, build at home) I do not have > any > libreoffice command on my system (Ubuntu 13.04) Did you use --enable-epm && --with-package-format to generate the rpms. If so then there should have been a libreoffice4.2-freedesktop-menus rpms and that should have installed /usr/share/applications/libreoffice4-2.writer.desktop etc including a /usr/bin/libreoffice4.1 binary. So maybe you have it, except its a versioned (of the alternative devel-version) name in the stock builds.
