All I did was install pretty much every possible package - a bit hard to
figure out which one does what - and the entries showed up on my menu.

Haven't actually done that, but should be possible to do the
associations.

There is a wrapper script /usr/bin/openoffice.org-1.9 that is used in
the menus, e.g. for writer "/usr/bin/openoffice.org-1.9 -writer %U".
There are also the scripts above, e.g. swriter that call up the
applications.
[prs@hazard2 program]$ pwd
/opt/openoffice.org1.9.113/program
[prs@hazard2 program]$ file swriter
swriter: Bourne shell script text executable
[prs@hazard2 program]$ cat swriter
#!/bin/sh
cmd=`dirname "$0"`/soffice
exec "$cmd" -writer "$@"
[prs@hazard2 program]$
Don't know why they've deviated from the "oowriter", etc. found in the
RH/FC packages. Back to the StarOffice roots I guess.

I can relate to that.

That's pretty much how we all got here. We're all learning.
