RE: [libreoffice-users] Conflicts?

Steve,

Well yes, but Windows has completely different application configurations for the Launchers on OS 
X, where manipulation of each programs .APP and some Plist values. 

And there are major differences in launcher setup with info.plist and each applications .app file 
when moving between OS X 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8--indications are that won't even run on 10.9.

And of course the mix of DE and application packaging on the Linux flavors is an interesting mix as 
well. 

So the three primary OS environments for configuring LibreOffice are different enough that we can't 
generalize across the OSs even though the code base is mostly in common. That is because 
installation/configuration is where things diverge the most.  Windows is an ugly beast. Linux 
Kernels and Darwin have reasonable methods for the most part. Although Unity leaves me scratching 
my head on occasion.
