OpenOffice style with KDE

[Carl Ekman <calle@gosig.nu>]

Hi,

I am sorry if I do not send this to the right place, but I hope that you could 
redirect me if so is the case.

I run Debian sid with KDE and OpenOffice and have noticed problems with the 
way OpenOffice takes on the look and feel of KDE.

I use an extra set of directories for KDE settings, so that my KDEDIRS 
variable points to my own global settings directory, then to /usr. I move all 
settings that seems suitable for all users to my global settings directory 
and away from my ~/.kde/, and keep the temporary and personal settings.

Now the strange problem is as follows: When I use the local default colors for 
KDE, OpenOffice takes on its own default color set. When my personal settings 
differ from the global settings, OpenOffice takes on my personal settings.

The same goes for fonts. For instance, my current system default is Nimbus 
Sans L, size 12pt. OpenOffice then uses some weird really small and ugly font 
for the GUI. When I change my personal font preferences to use Nimbus Sans L, 
size 13pt, OpenOffice uses it.

This bug seems strange, and could be a real problem in large GUI installations 
with KDE..

Regards, and thanks for maintaining OpenOffice!
