# find /usr/local/share -name "staroffice.svg*" -print

/usr/local/share/icons/crystalsvg/scalable/apps/staroffice.svgz
/usr/local/share/icons/mono/scalable/apps/staroffice.svgz

My personal preference is the crystalsvg/scalable/staroffice.svgz icon.
It is what I have loaded in my kicker bar.
To start the OOo 2.0.2 suite I use the executable
at /usr/local/bin/openoffice.org-2.0.2 (haven't checked, maybe it is a 
shell script)
