> 1- Proposal to substitute the "3 LibreOffice icons" for 1 icon, the LO
start center (see attached images).
I completely agree! I do this since natty by my self. the only point is
that lo start center icon is really ugly in colours...grey upon
grey...nothing to do with unity elegance...

offers "All" that LO has to offer under 1 dialogue.

buggy with the launcher, but now with 3.5 is working as expected.

launcher (see 2nd attachment). All products come with their manual and
believe it or not, so does Ubuntu but is hidden and not something its
targeted crowd (new users or migrating users) will stumble upon easily.
Gives over view of all desktop elements, how to get new apps, getting help
online, hardware info, accessibility options, tips and tricks, etc.

and a fast overview of the operating system. As well as the employes of
these stores can better assist the user instead of guessing or not able to
answer basic questions (which usually happens a lot)...
