Ah, cool!  It hasn't hit wa.au.debian.org yet but when it does, I'll
tell you how it goes :-)

Would it be possible to make this font size configurable, at least
through an environment variable or something?  A font that really is 8pt
is still quite small; I have KDE and Gnome set to use a 10pt font for
the UI, for instance.

|               * OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome

So does this mean that I can convince OO.o to use my KDE font settings
even when I'm not actually running in KDE?  Or does it require some
magic KDE daemon to get the settings from?

Hmm.  Did you mean to say experimental instead of unstable in your first
paragraph?

Cheers,
