Hi Henri

Thanks for the reply.

I have a series of 'drawers' in a side panel, into which I have pinned 
the LibO app launcher, so that enables me to launch the whole suite. 
What I like(d) about the Quick-starter was being able to right click it 
and to select the specific application (e.g., calc, impress, etc.) that 
I wanted to use rather than to pin a set of specific app launchers to my 
panel.

I agree though that that will be an option if the development decision 
is to deprecate the use of the Quick-starter, although I hope they 
don't! :-)

BTW - in using the PPA, when you update, does it automatically remove 
the old version of LibO prior to installing the new, and does it install 
the three packages in the correct sequence? I guess it does, but I've 
always been wary of that so have traditionally always done it manually 
via synaptic to remove the previous install and then dpkg -i to install 
the new packages.

Thanks again

Andrew
