Yup, got those errors too.  The only workaround I found was to remove 
openoffice, install the new KDE packages, then reinstall.  As long as 
you keep your ~/.openoffice directory, the uninstall/reinstall process 
*shouldn't* affect any of your settings,templates,etc.  But don't quote 
me on that :)

I posted a couple of days ago referring to programs crashing after 
installing the update to KDE.  The problem seemingly has corrected 
itself (with sporadic random exceptions), but I've still been unable to 
run any GL-enabled programs since.

Also as I said, it looks like the menu structure has changed slightly 
from 3.x -> 3.2, it appears Fedora gets confused as to where some 
programs should go.  Consequently, I've got an 'Unknown' menu entry 
which holds a bunch of random apps that it didn't know what to do with.
