That said "file not found". So I started poking around, and managed to 
find "Edit K Menu - KDE Menu Editor", in which I found the command:

/usr/X11R6/OOo-calc

So I put that in and got:

Starting /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/scalc...

... followed by indefinite silence. Huh?

(oocalc was working yesterday - what can I have done?)
