No, it doesn't. The SuSE RC has three files:
OpenOffice_org-gnome-1.9.125-4.1
OpenOffice_org-kde-1.9.125-4.1
OpenOffice_org-1.9.125-4.1
If you download from OpenOffice's site, there are more RPMs, including,
in a Desktop (I think) subdirectory, RPMs that add to the menu structure
for several different distros.
