Re: [libreoffice-users] desktop integration working now?

Mint 14?    MATE or Cinnamon desktop environment?  I run Ubuntu 12.04LTS 
with MATE.

So the desktop-integration now works properly without the extra step.

Yes, the Language Pack before the Help Pack was something that I 
remember hearing about back in 3.4.x days.

Has anyone installed the RPM version of 4.1.0 and had any problems with 
the desktop-integration?

Yes, we need to mention the fact that there will not be the extra step 
to get the desktop menus to be "installed".
