The correct way is to open applications-all-users:// in Nautilus.
Generally, launchers being in the wrong folder is a bug, and needs to be
fixed. I've submitted a patch to fix the OpenOffice.org launchers, you

File bugs. Read the vFolder Standard from freedesktop.org, and install

gcombust works fine for me ;)
