It couldn't believe and tested it. From a user point of view that is really 
weird and unpredictable behaviour, since the icon style changes without 
direct interaction or if you do not install the icons vanish without obvious 
reason. But since this is a problem of the openoffice.org people and your 
solution seems the only reasonable way of a solution, I would suggest to 
close this bug report. 

Yet somenone should tell them this is really a strange way of handling GUI 
styles ...

Best regards
