There can always be an RC4 if it is absolutely needed ;)

1) IMO the single word "Templates" doesn't fit with the other options.
"Open" and "Create" are two *verbs*, meaning two *actions*. It would make
much more sense "Use a Template" or "Create from Template". 

2) I also think that "Create" should be "Create New:" (as opposed to "Create
from Template") (and yes, I know that creating a "New" document means using
the Default template ;) )

3) "Writer Document" and all the other file types should have a font size
smaller than the font of the action "Create New"

4) There is too much wasted space between icon tiles. On my netbook
(1024x600) I get two tiles and a LOT of white space (especially horizontal
space between tiles). Maybe you can reduce the horizontal space to fit in at
least 3 tiles in 1024 resolution?

Just my 4 cents :)

Cheers,
Pedro
