[ubuntu-uk] OpenOffice.org problems

[David King]

It made no difference installing the galaxy icon set.

also, how do I change the icon set in OOo? I see no option in the program.


And, after making that change, things got worse. All the menu entries 
vanished. I had an icon in the panel for OOo Writer, which also would 
not work without specifying the full path to the program. And when I run 
it, I still the get the same error message.

What can I do?
