Yes, but you shouldn't have to. That's the point. StarOffice "claims"
that it installed the icon to the panel during install, and it doesn't
work. The question from the original poster was more wondering if it was
just him/her, or if everyone was having the same problem.
I think the answer is obvious:
Yes, everyone is having that problem.
