Hi all!
I noticed that on Hardy, when (and only when) my laptop is on battery,
the hard disk makes a sound every second or so, and never stops, even
when no application is running but the desktop.

In Hardy, all applications that don't really manage system-wide or user

Applications->System Tools.

Almost a year ago, I reported an issue [1] that appeared in OO.o Witer

Since we talk about it, two questions about hunspell in Hardy:
1) The specification [1] about removing duplicate dictionnaries suggest
we make OpenOffice.org use myspell in order to avoid the need for
unspell. A comment states that hunspell is an improvement of myspell,

At least, there is a logic: Preferences are/should be for user settings,
Administration for system-wide, often requiring admin rights settings.
Still, there are issues with this classification: the Network Tools are
