I've added a little bit to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenOffice.org
to document the best recipe for installing and deinstalling
openoffice.org extensions to avoid some gotchas. The example taken is
that of writer2latex and also shows the (submitted upstream) enhancement
to register an extension by linking to an the unzipped package to avoid
the vanilla behaviour of copying the package during installation.
