I did the same because I too use OpenOffice a lot and I needed some of the new features not available in SUSE's OOo-1.3 builds. For those wondering about OOo-2.0-Beta and kde-3.4, I installed both, kde first, and my system is running fine. I haven't had any problems and OOo v.2 has many new features.
Well thats one solution that works for sure. Whats interesting is the SUSE-Novell add "a lot" of customizations to their version of OOo which are lost upon going this route.

Very true; however, SUSE doesn't release interim builds. In other words, they don't release their custom builds of OOo between SUSE distro releases. You either use the OOo-1.3 build that shipped with 9.2 --with patches-- or you wait until they release 9.3 and get whatever OOo build they ship with that release. Am I mistaken? Have I missed a SUSE OOo build somewhere on their FTP site --or one of its mirrors-- for OOo-1.4 or OOo-1.5?
No. You haven't missed an update. There have been none. We also use OOo heavily and had to switch to 1.1.4. We have had a SuSE feedback ticket open on a java issue since 9.2 came out. I really can't work out why they complicate what really is an efficient and simple installation from the openoffice.org tarball. Steve.
