AOO 4.0.11 RC3 is solid, but so has the history of Openoffice, for my=20
use, subset of feaures.

mime types are configured, .....AOO is the default app for .doc, .docx,=20
odf stuff.

menus are updated with all the AOO apps.

Trinity Desktop has done this: gtk,TDE theme engine.

I have used kmail for quite some time with Openoffice, mostly using=20
the "email as xxx" feature, no issues, I do not do mail merges.

=2D-=20
Peace,

Greg
