Evidence that LO menu items were not installed.

This is on Ubuntu 12.04 using the GNOME fallback interface which looks somewhat like v2.32.

I deinstalled LO 3.6.4.3 and then installed the v4.0.0.3 debs.  No errors or warnings.

When I went to the "Start" menu, though, and chose Office, the LibreOffice application items didn't exist anymore as they had under v3.5 and v3.6.

This would be a serious problem for a non-geek.

The PNG file I uploaded was for some reason interpreted as text/plain.

If you install from debian packages you have to do:

cd CORE/DEBS/desktop-integration

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Where CORE is the downloaded LibreOffice folder
Without this there is no desktop integration

Marking as INVALID as this is not a bug, just a misunderstanding of how to install libreoffice from debian packages.

Thanks!

I've always done it in the past and am embarrassed that I forgot it this time.  Sorry about that!
