Ooo 3.0 Python user macros

Has anyone been able to run user-defined Python macros in OpenOffice.org
3.0? I had one in ~/.ooo-2.0/user/Scripts/python/try.py which did work
under Ooo2.x. So I put the same thing in ~/.ooo3/user/Scripts/python/, but
it will not show up in any macro dialog in Ooo 3.0.

The provided example macros seem to work: under the "Tools -Macros ->
Organize Macros -Python..." menu, there is an entry named "OpenOffice.org
Macros", and I can run the macros that are listed in there. So that
suggests the basic Ooo 3.0 Python macro system is functional.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I copied my test script
to /usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.0/share/Scripts/python/ and it appeared in
the "OpenOffice.org Macros" section, and I could select it and it ran just
fine.

So the problem is quite clearly that it's not looking in the
~/.ooo3/user/Scripts/python/ directory for scripts to run.
