OpenOffice.org 2.0.0.99.137-0.2

I updated OpenOffice.org from the suse/projects directory to
2.0.0.99.137-0.2 and I'm having a couple of problems.

1. Templates: I imported my templates and they appeared when importing.
However, when I do File->New->Templates the list is empty. I checked
my .ooo-2.0/user/template and the templates are there. If I try to import
them again, it says they they already exist!?! How can I make the templates
appear in OOo?

2. Gallery: With the previous verison of OOo (2.0.0-1 ?) I installed the
galleries RPM along with the openclipart RPM. However, when I view the
gallery from within OOo 2.0.0.99.137-0.2, it is empty. If I manually create
a new theme and add all the files in the gallery, they are visible until I
close and reopen OOo. If I close and restart OOo my themes are not there
nor are all my purdy clipart.

Anyone else having these problems? If so, do you know what I can do to fix
this?

Thanks,

Alvin

I decided to bite the bullet and downgrade back to OOo 2.0.0-1.1. That
version works perfectly. I'll wait for updates via Online Update for OO
from now on.

The solution of this problem lies in the location of the hidden files in
~/home/user directory.
Namely, OOo 2.0.0-1.1 has named his hidden directory something
like .oo-pre2, while OOo 2.0.0.99.137-0.2 has named his hidden directory
something like .oo-2. I suggest to check hidden directories for each
version of OOo.

Yup, I did that. The templates I imported were copied into
the .ooo-2.0/share/template directory. However, when OOo updated/refreshed
it's template this, the list became empty (but the templates were there). I
could duplicate this by manually updating the templates after I imported
then. When I manually updated the list, they disappeared right away.
