Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 16529
OOo is not accesible from generated menu items

I use Debian 3.0r1 woody with GNOME 1.4. After installation of OOo beta2 build 5, menu items are generated to access OOo applications but they are not functional and without icons. The problem came in when I specified other installation destination folder than default -I gave /home/peto/OpenOffice instead of default OpenOffice.org11beta etc.. My exploration shows that it seems like .setup installator dosen't use destination folder given by user when is generating menu items, and forces the default folder. So it won't work, because OpenOffice is installed to custom folder, but the items are generated for default one.
I've tried to reproduce with OOo 1.1RC on my Woody box with Gnome 1.4. I've changed the default 'OpenOffice.org1.1' to 'OpenOffice.org' The Menu entries are ok and working, OOo 1.1 is starting from menu.
Hm, strange. I try it again and it works. What was wrong first time? Don't know..
I don't know what has happend. Maybe a 'I don't like mondays' phenomenon? :-))
I'd understand it if I was under M$, but such a behavior with GNU/Linux, I'm concerned about this :-)
