openoffice.org related
Yup, got those errors too. The only workaround I found was to remove
openoffice, install the new KDE packages, then reinstall. As long as
you keep your ~/.openoffice directory, the uninstall/reinstall process
*shouldn't* affect any of your settings,templates,etc. But don't quote
me on that :)
I figured I'd uninstall openoffice, then try out KDE. I really like the
new look for this version.
Previously, I thought that KDE looked too XP'ish and before the XP
style copying, it looked too cartoonish.
The new look seems easier to navigate and has a lot more clarity.
I've been a GNOME user for the most part. This new version of KDE might
be worth switchig from the dwindling Gnome powers. (metacity, instead of
something better. Menu editing problems, etc)
I like the new KDE so far.

I posted a couple of days ago referring to programs crashing after
installing the update to KDE. The problem seemingly has corrected
itself (with sporadic random exceptions), but I've still been unable to
run any GL-enabled programs since.
Also as I said, it looks like the menu structure has changed slightly
from 3.x -> 3.2, it appears Fedora gets confused as to where some
programs should go. Consequently, I've got an 'Unknown' menu entry
which holds a bunch of random apps that it didn't know what to do with.
