[PLUG] OpenOffice no show

[Dirk & Karen]

root]#  /home/booda/OpenOffice.org641/program/soffice
SIOCGIFADDR got '00:00:00:00:00:00'
   I can get OpenOffice to run from a command as above, but when I try to add 
it to my main panel menu with MenuDrake in Mandrake 8.1, it will not operate 
eventhough I'm using the same command line.
   Where is my error? Is it that  "SIOCGIFADDR got '00:00:00:00:00:00'" line?
  Can I set up an icon using the command line?
Thanks, Dirk
