     Just remember that "they" (Ubuntu) is talking about their version
of LO. When you download LO from the DF website, you do not run into
this problem. Presently, on Ubuntu I have the following files in
the /opt/ folder: libreoffice3.4, libreoffice3.5, lodev3.5, ooo-dev,
ooo-dev3, openoffice.org, and openoffice.org3. I can run soffice from
any one of these folders (those which have a program folder).
     The Applications > Office contains Apache OpenOffice,
Openoffice.org3.4, and LO 3.4.6. (After installing LO 3.5.2, I installed
the file in the desktop integration folder. I wanted 3.4.6 to be listed
in the Office menu rather than 3.5.2 which over wrote the settings of
3.4.6 in the menu.)
