That's the ticket!  I thought that if the openclipart package gets updated
you would not have any updates show up in LibreOffice since you did a copy.
So here is the command to link the folders so that you can get the latest
clipart (if the package ever gets updated, I don't remember ever seeing it, 
but I don't exactly try to remember /every/ update)

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.2/share/gallery/* /usr/lib/libreoffice/basis3.3/share/gallery/

This works (or is it   works-around   ??)
