The problem is with permissions; the ebuild gets it halfway right in adding +r
to directories under /usr/share/icons, but it needs to do more: it also needs to
add +x to the permissions.

@Eric: Your suggestion does not work for me, icons are still not shown.
Interestingly in the smeg menu editor they are displayed correctly (while in the
built-in-editor for 2.12 they are missing, too), the desktop files themselves
look correct too

Same for version 2 RC1

Created attachment 69675 [details, diff]
a patch to fix that problem...

applying this patch you can fix that problem... icons are in another place and
.desktop files are wrong

# Icon symlinks for gnome
	dodir /usr/share/pixmaps
	for app in base calc draw impress math printeradmin writer; do
		dosym /usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/apps/openofficeorg-19-${app}.png
/usr/share/pixmaps/openofficeorg-19-${app}.png
	done

You can add this to src_install instead (creating symlinks for the icons

This is fixed now in rc2, thanks everyone-

Hi! Thank you for the fix, i tried it today.

Unfortunately there is still a little problem. I my case, the directory "apps"
in "/usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/" wasn't there before emerging
openoffice-2.0.0_rc2, so the ebuild (or portage - I don't know) created it. But
with wrong permissons: 744 instead of 755. So as non-root user i could not
access this directory and the icons didn't appear in the gnome-menu.

chmod 755 /usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/apps helped.
