[desktop-discuss] Re: openoffice.org 2.0 integration

[peter at yseda.com]

so - that looks like i have to manually make the change - openoffice.org
2.0 didn't install any of that stuff by itself.

the theme i'm using is the default "Nimbus" theme - there doesn't appear
to be a /usr/share/icons/Nimbus   directory  :/

it looks like there's a disconnect between what openoffice.org 2.0 installs
and the current version of gnome...
