Sounds reasonable.

You copy the section from the global XML file into your user file, which
will be at
~/.openoffice/1.0.1/user/config/registry/instance/org/openoffice/Office/Common.xml

Yup, you could say that :) Looking at the last buildlog, it will be
somewhere under the officecfg directory I think.
[sounds of Chris looking]
Found this in officecfg/data/org/openoffice/Office/Common.xcd:
<schema:value cfg:name="PickListSize" cfg:type="int">
<!--UI hints: File menu-->
<schema:documentation>
<schema:description>Max. number of displayed pickmenu items.</schema:description>
</schema:documentation>
<schema:type-info>
<schema:constraints xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema";>
<xsd:minInclusive value="0"/>
<xsd:maxInclusive value="9"/>
</schema:constraints>
</schema:type-info>
<default:data>4</default:data>
</schema:value>
That seems to be it, altough the maxInclusive value seems to suggest that 9
is the maximum?
