preloading openoffice 2?

Which applet are you talking about? The quickstarter applets can usually be
configured to point to your openoffice installation.

quickstarter applet for 0002 is unavailable.

Current verstion of ooqstart-gnome (0.8.3-8ubuntu1) is not configured to work
with OpenOffice 2.x and it seems it's imposible to configure it to work with
OpenOffice.org2 :(
I think this is because quickstarted parameter was changed in 2.0, it seems now
we need to start /usr/bin/ooffice2 --session-quickstart, but when I tried to
start this from command line it simply started openoffice in GUI mode :(
Btw, why ooqstart-gnome in universe repository ? Lots of people need fast
starting OpenOffice.org2 package.

There is new ooqstart-gnome version (0.8.3-9) in Debian Unstable, which works
with OpenOffice.org 2.0
Please update ubuntu package of ooqstart-gnome.

I've patched ooqstart-gnome version (0.8.3-9) from Debian Unstable to work
correctly on Ubuntu (changed just one character - replaced /usr/bin/ooffice with
/usr/bin/ooffice2 and recompiled on ubuntu breezy. Look for packages at
ftp://ftp.akl.lt/Linux/Baltix/
I've tested this package and it works with OpenOffice.org 2.0.1 RC (backported
from Ubuntu dapper) fine.
Please update ubuntu package of ooqstart-gnome in universe.

version 2.0.2 now comes with it's own quickstarter. please enable it in the preferences
