Question 3): I am a writer, and am halfway through my next book. I

using OpenOffice Writer with Fedora 12 with no issues. With Fedora 16
KDE, when I issued an install order for yum regarding OpenOffice
Writer, it defaulted to LibreOffice Writer, which apparently is the
preferred app for this OS spin. In any event, to open my book file,
which is only 1.5 MB of text (no graphics), it requires a full 5
minutes to load into LibreOffice Writer. Is this normal??? When I
launch my prior book, which is 9.0 MB of text only, it takes a
whopping 21 minutes to load. These times are FAR in excess of the load
times with OpenOffice Writer in Fedora 12. The computer has a 1.2 GHz
Celeron processor with 1.5 GB of RAM, same as in Fedora 12. Is Fedora
16 using so much system resources that this sluggish load time is
expected, If this is all normal, I can live with it, but it sure seems
odd to me.
Is libreoffice-kde installed? If not, does installing it help? If yes, does
uninstalling it or running OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome libreoffice-writer help?
