I did not install Open Office from the Fedora ISO's, but Gnome seems to want to see part of it anyway. Specifically, the message I get when I log out (I typically go into gnome with startx) is: "Unable to open desktop file applications:///Office/redhat-word-processor.desktop for panel launcher. Error reading file 'applications:///Office/redhat-word-processor.desktop': file not found" I get similar burps for Open office spreadsheet and presentations ".desktop" files. Also -- perhaps related -- there are three warnings which read: "(nautilus: 1940) Warning xx: destroyed file still being monitored." Any config files I can hack to save gnome some unnecessary work?
