Unable to set up OpenOffice.org 1.1

[Jason Montleon]

I had the same experience.  No icons, thought that was wierd so I rpm -e'd 
the packages and then used up2date to reinstall them.  Still no icons so I 
started looking around.  Tried running /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice 
but that started an installer which failed miserably trying to copy files to 
the directory I designated (something like /opt/OpenOffice.org).

I then did rpm -qi openoffice.org to look at the version of the RPM's I had 
installed and by stupid luck I saw the bit about running oofice.  That did 
the trick, but now when I run ooffice from the command line I get (which I 
don't know if is good, bad, or indifferent):

sed: can't read 
/home/jason/.openoffice/user/config/registry/instance/org/openoffice/Setup.xml: 
No such file or directory

Other than that it seems to work great.

/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice works now as well except it doesn't 
cause the same warning/error.
