I already thought that in this thread you and others have talked and
worried too much on the fragmentation of Linux platforms. Nobody asked
SUN to solve that.
There is no need at all that that happens, as far as this discussion
is concerned. I was talking of distro-level integration: only one
directory for templates, so all (accordingly packaged) word processors
can find them. If the actual path is different on Fedora, Debian,
Slackware etc... the user wouldn't notice nor care.
Ciao,
