In any way i try to run it . For example if i download a document through
firefox and then ask it to open the file then Writer will crash . Mainly
i would
be worried about the fact that when i do the following Writer crashes
I start by pressing the f ( on the lower left corner ( yes by the way
it is the KDE desktop ) ) then i move on to the Applications tab then
to Office then to OpenOffice.org and finally to Writer .

Am using KDE ( perhaps this will be of assistance
kdebase-4.5.5-1.fc14.x86_64 )
- from the menu ?
Yes from the menu .

Yes
Applications - Office - OpenOffice.org Writer
That´s the path .

A small problem here . I don´t get the option add this launcher to
panel but just "Add to Panel" assuming that was the intended option.

A small problem here , i don´t have any properties option so am
assuming "Icon Settings"

The command that get´s executed is
openoffice.org -writer %U ( from the Panel )
check properties as above - from the command line ?
am not sure how do i do that .

Writer fired up normally ( from the panel ) and i got
[root at Orion ~]# ps aux |grep -i office
root 3453 0.0 0.0 106204 1380 ? S 11:08 0:00 /bin/sh
/usr/lib64/openoffice.org3/program/soffice -quickstart -nologo -nodefault

root 5917 0.0 0.0 103420 852 pts/1 S+ 11:34 0:00 grep
--color=auto -i office
The bogus thing here is that for some reason today for example i can use
Writer , tomorrow after some updates
i can´t and then again after some more updates i will probably be able
to use Writer again . Now Writer seems
to be working normally .
On a sidenote here , although it is quite irrelevant i have to add that
i did an
"rpmdb --rebuild" last night after your last email since i was under the
impression that something wasn´t going all that
well with the rpm database .
Anyway could u please remind me the command in order to see the last
updates ?
