Yes, I know. Will make future ones shorter...

With this methodology we might be able to change that in 
future... But to be honest, in the real software you have  
some more queues that help you, like the position of the 
icon.

The results of this and all other tests we do for 
LibreOffice (and other Free Software products) are always 
available on the open usability platform userweave.net - 
a service I host that is running the aGPL software 
UserWeave, we use for conducting the tests (And we are 
looking for contributors that help us to further improve 
UserWeave - and hence the Free Software Projects that 
make use of it!).

Next to this I will give an insight in the results during 
my talk on the LO conference:

http://conference.libreoffice.org/program/friday-premier-
track/reflections-on-ux

Additionally I will write some blog articles on this, 
that will be available via the LO planet - probably after 
the conference.
