I did some investigation into the problem of "star office eats
3mb of users' quota/platform", and have concluded that there is
definitely room for improvement. It particular, it appears that
a significant number of the files that Star Office installs in each
homedir are read-only files that are never modified, and can be
replaced with symlinks to a common directory (in afs).
I believe that Alex installed some improvements to this process a few
weeks ago. I'm closing out the thread in bugs.
