Hi,
I just installed 2.0.3 from OOo myself. Did you run the desktop
integration rpm?
OOB680_m5_native_packed-1_en-US.9011/RPMS/desktop-integration/openoffice.org-redhat-menus-2.0.2-3.noarch.rpm
OOo has been doing this for along time.
Also add exclude=openoffice* in /etc/yum.conf so you don't get upgrade
notices in yum.
Then go into the menu and create your icon on the tool bar if you wish.
