Hi Joel,

I don't remember EVER installing a distro package for LO but ALWAYS use
the TDF-download site. Again, before trying to install 4.1 I did
apt-get purge libreoffice* (as suggested somewhere on the www in order to
"clear" the slate!). Also - maybe being Central European? - I have really
settled on KDE. I have become accustomed to it, it performs quite well enough
for me at V4.10 and I love it.

There is the threat of having to migrate so much (such as PIM etc.) in case of
changing to any other desktop environment. As I mentioned before, I have settled
on using 3.6.7 for the time being. It works just fine for me. Even as an
old IBM systems engineer I find that even though I love doing so I anyway fiddle
quite enough with Linux.

However - from my professional days - I have unfortunately carried over to
retirement the infection called "versionitis". Obviously this causes this kind
of problems...

Regarding heat and beer: while I definitely acknoledge what you say about
that - maybe, if you should ever make it to Salzburg, I can introduce you
to the shady beergarden next to the monastery that has been brewing their
stuff for centuries and serve it in nice cool beer steins which you personally
cool with clean cold mountain water before "inserting" the stuff from the
wooden barrel. After working out in gym for an hour or so there is not much
that can equal the first gulp of fresh hops/malt at just the right temperature...
;)
Regards
Heinrich
