Same here Heinrich - which is precisely the same problem I experienced 
when I tried installing 4.1 about a month ago. This is why I thought a 
desktop-integration directory was still required. The current 
installation does not support Gnome (or related) menus, does not seem to 
trigger any application to launch.

The read me's and installation documents still refer to a separate 
desktop integration command, and if one is to use the installation file, 
there is no clear indication of how to do so.

I'm happy enough to beta test, but would like to know how to install the 
application to get it to start in the first place.

Anyone out there who has successfully gotten the 4.1 to install and 
start on a Debian type system? I'm running Mint 14, and at this point in 
time am stymied, so I'm reverting back to 4.0.4 which seems to be pretty 
stable and installs and works as one has come to expect of LibO.
