Hi Garry,

Have you looked under /usr/lib/browser-plugins? This is the SUSE default 
plug-ins directory, so when I install a piece of software that has been 
packaged for SUSE, either by SUSE or by another 'third party' packager like 
Packman or Guru:

a. if the package suppies a plug-in, it is 'landed' or is symlinked into that 
directory, or

b. if it uses plug-ins, it 'looks' in that directory to see what plug-ins are 
available.

So, did you install the 'stock' SUSE OOo package?

Thanks!

Carl
