Libreoffice 3.4 was installed in /opt and a link to the executable was put in /usr/bin, but Unity search can't find it. Also, if I open Libreoffice Writer, for instance, and ask to keep its icon in launcher, it doesn't work afterwards.

If it is possible how can I get one?
There is not much documentation in the project page. Did anyone try it on Ubuntu?
In any case, what to expect from it? Can it become a FOSS alternative to Catia, Autodesk Inventor or SolidWorks?
For instance for mechanical engineering; from what I've seen, Blender is quite flexible and powerful so maybe it serves well for this also?
I have some issues with Gimp. Something about the resolution. Sometimes you just can see the color change steps in gradients for instance. Something similar affects anti-aliasing. Is this a bad installation problem, a Gimp limitation, a system configuration issue, or...?
Just that. By good I mean something at the level of SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar. This is a complete limitation for me (and many others) to use Ubuntu.
I would like to have info (time, filename, and user when having shared folders) about file changes, uploads, downloads...
Maybe I'm wrong but more than once it happened to me that some problems suddenly got fixed after a number of turn-on/turn-off cycles.
I also read somewhere that this was even recommended in some other OS's (Windows).
I want to eliminate my account since I created it only as a trial.
Possible cases:
1) I plan to do Debian packaging (this case is the motivation since postfix gets installed as a dependency of some development packages, so it means that in such a case might be necessary).
2) I plan to use Evolution and a Internet provider mail account.
3) I plan to use gmail.
Surely if I read Postfix documentation I may find the answer, but its huge and couldn't find it. In any case how (or where) should I find the answer to a question like that by myself? (I really tried)
For instance floating panels and main window in Gimp are independent windows. If I change focus to a full window (e.g. Firefox by doing Alt-Shift) and go back to the main Gimp window I don't get back the floating panels also (I have to change to them as well in order to see them). It would be great if the 3 windows can be "tied" (or linked) together in order that they don't get lost behind other open windows when I change back to (make active window) any of them? I think this configuration (if it exists) should show itself more obviously in the gnome environment.
This question seems to address the same problem but it doesn't seem to be accurately answered.
Will Ubuntu have something like Google App Inventor to easily develop applications for the Ubuntu platform? Is Quickly intended to do that? I heard Ubuntu is planing to make easy and fun to develop for Ubuntu platform. How is it going to be accomplished?
After attempting to install quickly with:
sudo apt-get install quickly python-quickly-widgets
I got a postfix (mail daemon) configuration screen. Why do I need it to use quickly and how should I configure it? I read/write mail on my browser (gmail...).
I made a link on my Desktop to the launcher file "Compiz" in /usr/share/applications/. When I try to execute it I get:
"The application launcher "Link to compiz.desktop" has not been marked as trusted. If you do not know the source of this file, launching it may be unsafe."
So my question is how to make such a launcher on my Desktop?
Otherwise, what kind of file are these [Desktop Entry] files and how can they be executed (by double clicking on them) if they have permissions such as:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 396 2010-12-17 15:23 compiz.desktop
