Ben -- You need to install the desktop-integration parts manually, after the main install. Please see: http://www.openoffice.org/download/common/instructions.html This does not happen "automagically". I can't tell by your response here what you've done. If you have installed some other desktop-integration piece for AOO, I suggest you uninstall that, install the freedesktop-menus, get out of KDE then back in, to see changes. Please be aware that this effects main KDE/mime_type/application menu integration only and not TOTAL KDE integration, e.g. kmail, etc. I hope this helps. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org > > -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MzK "Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities.
