Ah, that's where they're hiding. Unfortunately that directory does not have 
the correct structure to be automatically recognized by XDG compatible 
applications...

... and that doesn't help things much either.

OpenOffice maintainers:

If you install the .desktop files 
to /usr/local/openoffice.org2.0.0/share/xdg/applications instead (the 
applications subdirectory is important), I could extend the misc/kde-xdg-env 
port to add usr/local/openoffice.org2.0.0/share/xdg to the XDG_DATA_DIRS path 
and the OO.o applications would automatically be added to the Office submenu.

Patching them to point to the correct executable name would be nice as well of 
course. What do you think?

Cheers,
