Windows users who use to create new documents from Explorer 
folder>right-click>"New Writer Document" always complain that this 
context menu refers to a static template in some user profile folder of 
MS Windows. When you modify your default template, the right-click 
template remains the same.
<speculation>It looks as if the SuSE folks try to be extra clever and 
try the Microsoft way of "system integration" which is "catch each and 
every system event to be prepared for whatever the stupid user tries to 
do next". In this case they generate default templates on system/dektop 
startup. </speculation> May Michael Meeks tell us more details about 
this extraordinary "feature" and why not use some hidden directory in 
the user's home directory for stunts like that.
I don't need this nor do I want it. I know how to open any file with any 
available program. For testing, bug reporting and support I have 5 
versions of OOo/LibO on my computer and none of them is from the repos.
I blocked all repo versions since OOo 2.0 because they always used to be 
more buggy than the vanilla ones. Between versions 2.0 and 3.3 I always 
needed some of the bug fixes and new features.
All my "system integration" is hand made.
