Bullshit, it does.

<rant> WTF? Why do you send an useless image to a mailing list,
containing a stupid standard "disclaimer" (which is more a one-side NDA)
and therefore bloating this? As if this text wouldn't be stupid enough,
sent in bandwidth saving text format. </rant>

As you have the Ximian OOo installed, it probably is in another
directory than the old version (just a guess, as I never installed the
Ximian version) -- and the old one is un-installed?

To fix KDE links, you have to deal with your KDE settings. Asking a KDE
mailing list would be the best bet.

However, check which binary the KDE link calls and make a symlink to the
actual OOo binary. This way you don't have to mess with KDE settings.


BTW: This mailing list is for discussions about Evolution. Questions
about XD2 (including OOo) are better asked on the Ximian Users mailing
list:
