Just an additional comment on Eric's comment: In wanting to upgrade OOo 
from 1.1.0 to 1.1.1, but also being a chicken, I didn't want to remove 
the 1.1.0 version.  So, I installed 1.1.1 in a different directory, and 
then modified the /usr/bin/oowriter et al scripts to call the OOo in the 
new location.  That worked okay with Icewm's icons and menus.  But I 
also have XWC installed for the file manager, and telling it to use 
oowriter to open .doc files wasn't working, but telling it to use 
/opt/OOo1.1.1/bin/swriter did work.  Not sure why, though.
