Hi to all.

One of the key new features for Kosmo Desktop 2.0 is its avanced 
printing module that uses OpenOffice as target. Another problem is that 
it's required the offfical OpenOffice distribution, because we have 
noticed that the custom OpenOffice packages for some distributions (like 
Ubuntu, for example) removes some files that must exist so this 
extension could work.
