I've tried twice now to get the installation of StarOffice 6 to write to the KDE Panel so I can access it. OOo installed and is integrated by default in the 8.1 installation, but no way can I get SO6 to cooperate. Anyone else have this experience? dave -- David C.

By default, SuSE replaces the K-menu with a SuSE-one. When StarOffice installs, I guess it tries to integrate to the K-Menu. - - You can switch to the K-menu with the KDE Control center -> Look and Feel -> Menu Settings, or - - if you prefer the SuSE menu, the content of the K-menu is still accessible by right-clicking on Kicker (the panel) -> Add -> Button. There you have the submenus of th K-menu and you can add them to the panel. - -- Thibaut Cousin E-mail : cousin@in2p3.fr Web : http://clrwww.in2p3.fr -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE90gG8v1vqsTa1E4oRAnxeAJ9nzJyuelsIQFdrjtkK+CkkFxA2MACgrbCG 5AAmNbxOiDVU8wIL+qsRmrc= =xrbx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Actually, I found that they are "both there" (the KDE menu and the SuSE menu) If you start up the "menu editor" [right click on the SuSE/KDE icon and select menu editor) you will see what LOOKS like the menus and sub-menus you see, but is somehow "subtly different" -- look closely and you'll see an item labelled "suse", and if you expand that, it is a *nearly* identical main/sub menu tree as the actual top-level tree. You may even see an "OpenOffice.org" sub-menu/tree (or two of them if you tried twice) You can "drag-n-drop" this item to somewhere in the "SuSE" hierarchy and it will magically appear under your regular SuSE start icon. I ran into this when I tried to add some games or something -- I went into the menu editor, saw "games" listed right there in front of me, even saw what looked like the current list of games by type under them, but anything I added manually never showed up. Eventually I stumbled onto the "SuSE" menu item and saw under THAT one ANOTHER "games" directory/subtree -- moving the entries I created at the "top" level to this level solved my immediate problem...

My installation remains with the KDE K on the menu icon.

SO6 installed in the K menu of the 7.1 distro just fine, but in 8.1 it refuses to install itself in the menu at all (yes, I selected to have it integrated with the KDE desktop) and also appears to have corrupted my installations of compupic under both distros. dave -- David C.

I don't know if this applies (my experience is with 8.0 and OO 1.0.1 downloaded from OO.org), but It added a 'directory' under the K menu that was never seen (it doesn't display), but it was available to add to the kicker panel with K>Configure Panel>Add>Button. Maybe the same is true for SO6. -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.
